Obesophobia

An intense, overwhelming fear of gaining weight or getting fat. The condition is a specific phobia (fear), which is a type of anxiety disorder. It's also called pocrescophobia.

The word fatphobia is not a real word and never has been, a phobia is an intense fear of something. No one has an irational fear of "fat people". The correct word for "fatphobia", is obesophobia. There is no hateful message in the word obesophobia.
