Hi there, not all beardies have plump fat pads. You mean the ones on the head I assume ? Pics will be helpful, here's how to post :

My four were the following weights at 7 months old :

Puff (M) = 214.2g
Rex (F) = 262.3g
Peppa (F) = 273.1g
Toothless (M) = 182.9g

So your's is a good size for his age, I'd have to check out the photos (got zillions of them of all my gang from itzybitsy babies (skinks) or hatchlings (beardies) and I can't recall if the fat pads on their heads were as prominent as they are now (Rex is near 4 years old) , Peppa and Toothless are nearly 16 months old now).

How many insects are you giving yours per day (in each meal) and what kind of bugs ? ....
if you are making the mistake of feeding your 7 month old like many feed their adults , greens and veg wont add much in the way of fat to their reserves (in the tail , under the neck and in the tail.
