Instead of asking more questions, please answer him directly? That is:
"Name an aircraft that will be overweight with a full load of fuel even
with
only the required pilot(s) aboard."

Let's see
Two morbidly obese pilots in a C152.
There are some 300 pound plus people out there

I don't think the C152 requires 2 pilots and we are talking about standard
pilot weights. Can you think of a correct answer?

Okay 1 400 pounder.
I'd go look up the heaviest person living but he'd not be able to get
into an aeroplane

Just looked up the W&B for a C152.
If the pilot weighs in at 300 and the aircraft has a full fuel load
he's off scale

Which really isn't that much for a tall, big boned individual with
cloths, a flight bag, backup handheld, spare batteries, headset, AFD,
charts, a bottle of water, etc.
