People tend to lie about their clothing size and weight for a few reasons.

There are standards when it comes to height and weight, based around an average for different populations. If someone is over what they should be, it can be embarrassing.

In addition to their being a standard according to height an weight, there is also a standard in fashion. Models are usually between sizes 0-6, for example, and the media helps women to believe they are supposed to be within those standards. The clothes look better, and it is fun to fantasize about having the glamour associated with being a model, celebrity, actress, etc

People may lie about their size and weight due to insecurities, societal pressures to conform to certain beauty standards, or to avoid judgment or criticism from others. Some may also lie to fit in or impress others.
