'chubbiness' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'lady's bottom with love bites spread over' is the wordplay.
'bottom' suggests the final letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'spread' indicates anagramming the letters.
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
The final letter of 'lady' is 'y'.
'bites' anagrammed gives 'besit'.
'o' placed within 'besit' is 'obesit'.
'y' put after 'obesit' is 'OBESITY'.

'of' acts as a link.
