Quoting from your post:
"A great side benefit would also be that passengers would think much more carefully about what they pack and also might even think about getting more exercise and trimming off a few kilos or pounds! "
It's the airlines who need to think it through more carefully. There are many reasons for a passenger not being a "trim, taut 75kg."
A lot of people ( a relative of mine is one of them) take vital medication that drastically increases their weight from what it is without medication. They can take medication and be overweight and have reasonable health, or not take medication and lose weight because they are dead.
