    People with very little muscle mass who appear skinny, but have subcutaneous fat. So, they may look slim in their clothes, they look flabby without.

    Usually people who are at a healthy weight on the BMI scale but have an unhealthy amount of body fat.

    skinny fat means "people who are thin that have a high body fat" for your weight/size, they don't necessarily look "flabby"

    depends on what you perceive as flabby.
