Unusually fat at the rear (3)

I believe the answer is:

aft

'at the rear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'unusually fat' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'fat' with letters rearranged gives 'AFT'.

(Other definitions for aft that I've seen before include "Behind (naval)" , "Towards the rear at sea" , "Astern" , "Near the rear (of ship)" , "back to sailors" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
