You are beautiful just the way nature made you! I definitely know how you feel because I too have issues with how I feel about my body. I try to tell myself little things I like about my body each day to try and help me love the skin I'm in and it really helps even if it's just a little bit. Hope you feel better. :)
I so absolutely love how you draw more realistic bodies. It brings me great comfort to see artists draw stretchmarks, fat, cellulite, and other "imperfections" since most everyone has some of those! I just... This makes me smile and feel warm. I love the character, too! A fun dino. :D
I have a very similar body shape to this myself (right down to the nip size/position and stretch marks), so I kinda feel ya. I disliked my body a lot for a very long time. Like QhaoticZombie, I eventually came to see myself as very handsome and cool-looking, even with the squishyness and scars, but I couldn't really make myself believe it until pretty recently. I wish you luck with finding body-happiness yourself! It is, imo, a VERY FINE AND GOOD body shape, although at this point I'll admit that my opinion is definitely a little biased. :P
If this is a reoccurring feeling, one thing that might be helpful is to make a cool OC that's closely based off of your body shape and has a lot of the features you feel self-conscious about mixed with other things you find attractive/cool? That's worked well for me, personally, particularly during a time when I felt so dark about myself that I could barely stand to directly acknowledge my body at all. (I don't mean to offer advice if you're not looking for it, though--please feel free to disregard the last bit if so! I hope you feel better soon.)

All bodies are beautiful; it's our society that kinda fucks that up. :^)
That said, if you have a goal for what you'd personally like to look like and you're worried that you're not there yet, just focus on what small steps you can take to make it towards your goal, one bit at a time. And remember that progress is often slow and long-term.
