📝 AITAH for wanting to “confront” my friend about her obesity?

I’ve known this girl basically since birth but she’s gotten progressively heavier since graduating high school. We’re both in our early twenties and it’s come to a point where I’m genuinely concerned for her health. She can barely fit in her car. One time she stayed over at my place for a few days and I noticed that she carried around a weird odor. Even after showering she smelled SO bad. I had to wash my sheets twice to get rid of the smell. I’m under the impression that she’s getting so big that she’s unable to bathe herself properly. I feel like I can’t say anything because I’m borderline underweight (something I’ve struggled with for years) and I think it would sound really insensitive coming from me. Realistically there’s no nice way to go about this but our entire relationship is built on honesty. I have no judgement against people being overweight as I’m very educated on things that people can’t control (environmental factors, genetics, etc.) I’m just so concerned for her overall health and I want the best for her. I also think she settled for her bum ass bf because she thinks she’s incapable of being loved by anyone else because of her weight. She’s always been a bigger girl but now I’m just terrified.
