It is definitely underweight and the poop looks like he may have internal parasites. He has also probably been starved.
Is this your puffer or is this one at a pet shop? Can you get him to eat at all?
Poor little mbu. His outcome does not look good.

If I remember correctly, this should be his own tank. T.K have the habit of arranging the ceramic rings and bare bottom tank. Nothing seems to have changed.

underweight and parasites. the puffer is very skinny, in very bad health. it needs to have medicine and more food. medicine will help, but you must treat the food with medicine and then feed it to the puffer.
this is information about treatment for parasites

what kind of food do you feed this puffer?

He is slowly starving from IPs. He's obviously had them the entire time you've owned him. Please treat immediately or he will be dead soon.

It doesn't matter if he's eating, the parasites in his body are getting all the food, he is obviously getting none & starving.

Master tank=128*62*77=160g(611L)
Vice-tank=106*30*40=33g(127L)
Actually the waters level :146g(555L)+21g(80L)=167g(635L)
Submersible motor:10000/H

Hopefully you can get him through this, then you will need to think about a more appropriate tank
