The fat, soft piece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plump

'the fat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soft piece' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for piano, 'soft').
'piece' becomes 'lump' (lump is a kind of piece).
'p'+'lump'='PLUMP'

(Other definitions for plump that I've seen before include "Slightly fat" , "Well-rounded" , "Full of figure" , "Portly" , "Rather fat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
