AITA for calling my girlfriend “curvy”?

The other night, my girlfriend asked me what my “type” was.

I responded, “Curvy like you.”

She got really mad, saying that curvy meant out of shape.

This man’s girlfriend didn’t take his response too well.

I told her I didn’t know/mean that.

I just meant that she has a nice body.

Now, all week, she keeps making comments about her being “fat” despite me continuing to assert that my understanding of curvy meant having nice feminine features.

AITA?

She sounds overly sensitive considering her boyfriend’s explanation.
