Great question. I'll start with a quick shoutout for my book, Style for Fat Guys, as this is dealt with in much greater detail there. Note that the title only uses the word 'fat' as it's the most commonly searched-for term for portly gents trying to find style advice, and I make special note in the book to use more positive/colourful language to describe a gent's girth.
Anyway, the reason you look/feel great in your suits is because they do all the right things to bring an overweight body towards the "ideal" masculine proportions; they give you a strong, structured shoulder - which counteracts the overweight man's naturally slumped/sloped shoulder - and taper in at the waist. This makes you look strong and is exactly what a suit should do.
What do you do for work? It's fine to use sport coats and blazers in a casual style - I personally wear blazers with jeans and a t-shirt, still gives you that same structure but can be worn in a much less rigid way.
Not a bad little guide for how to help heavier guys look a bit snazzy. I think it only works if you have an e-reader.
Style for Fat Guys highly recommended.
