Grammar check please?

Hi,

Can you tell me the word “suggest” and “imply” are pretty much same meaning in these sentences, please?


Are you suggesting/implying that I look fat in this jean?

I don’t have any proof, but all the evidences suggest/imply that he's guilty.

Which word is more common for conversational English?


Thanks in advance.
