still solid after all these years

Mom: Have you... put on weight?
A.: [Shrug]
Mom: You've gotten... solid.
A.: Solid?
Mom: You know... solid. ["plotniya" was her exact word. The literal translation is something between "solid" and "dense"]. I mean, you used to be thin. And now you're solid/dense.
A.: [shrug]

could solid mean muscular?... even if it comes out as a backhanded compliment.
