Not really. From positive to negative: plump - chubby - fat - obese
Plump: a nice word for when someone is a little bit fat (it sounds positive)
Chubby: a word for when someone is a little bit fat (can be positive or negative, i.e. Look at those chubby cheeks! vs. I got a little bit chubby over the Winter)
Fat: negative word - can be very rude
Obese: negative word - but is mostly medical.

"plump" is not really used to describe people, it can sound quite... rude or just weird in general. "plump" is a euphemism for "fat" but not in a way that makes it feel more respectful.
"chubby" is a nicer way of saying "fat" and can be used if you think the person is bigger than a "standard" (by whatever metric you're using) person of their age/height/gender but you don't think it's to the point where they're overweight or unhealthy, or you don't think they look bad with the "extra" weight. "chubby" is a nicer euphemism than "plump" and people often describe overweight children as "chubby" rather than "fat".
"obese" is a medical category but is often used to just talk about people who are really, really fat visually.
"fat" is below "obese" in terms of weight and tends to be used most frequently.
