Well, when he complains about his clothes not fitting properly, tell him why as nicely as possible - it might be an idea to go the "You're eating the wrong things" route, rather than the "That'd be because you're a massive gannet" one. If you're a good cook, maybe start introducing him to food that won't put him in an early whale-sized grave.

To be fair, if he's bitching about his weight himself, he's pretty much given you an in. Not saying that gives you license to be an arsehole to him about it, but it does mean that if he gets all defensive when you bring it up, you're entitled to point out that HE'S not happy either, so maybe he should... y'know... do something about it.
