Top answer

kuna medium-sized, stocky stature, but well built '-Sized' is for hamburgers, not people, and 'but' seems wrong to me, as stocky, though a little overweight, is pretty well built in my estimation. 'Medium/average height and stature' should be sufficient as a description, as they suggest 'well built' in themselves.

Sorry, kuna, but I still don't understand. The only sentences I see above are my own. They are grammatically and semantically correct.
