Thats generally how it is, stays plump and slowly decreases and by the next day its just a little plump.
What are you feeding him and have you treated him for IPs? Also

SAP's have that more slender streamlined shape than some of the other puffers, but then again they tend to be a lot more active constantly swimming.
