【The difference between～気味】
Compared to ～がち, the words that you can use with 気味 are limited.

It is mainly used to say that someone/something is in a slightly certain state/condition.

気味 means “slightly something” and it expresses the current state or condition.

So 太り気味 means “(currently) slightly fat/ on the fat site”

がちexpresses some tendency. So this person is not necessary fat now but he/she gains weight easily.

Ex. 1) 最近、太り気味だから気をつけなければなりません。
= I am on the fat side (I am kind of fat) now so I have to be careful.


Ex. 2) 最近、太りがちだから気をつけなければなりません。
I’ve been putting on weight recently so I have to be careful.
