Not sure which weight I look objectively better at

I'm 5’0, and two years ago I weighed around 110 pounds. Due to medication and a hard period in my life, I gained weight and I'm now 126 pounds. In between these two periods, however, I did change my workouts. At the lower weight, I mostly just did Pilates and yoga. But now, I mostly do weightlifting with progressive overload so I likely have more muscle now.

I'm 32 and I'm at the point where I'm starting to prefer a fuller face, and I actually prefer my face at this higher weight because it looks more soft, youthful, balanced. I have a narrow, long face shape, and being at a higher weight conceals this. Whereas when I'm at a lower weight, I feel like my face looks too oblong. But the problem is, I think I prefer my body at the lower weight. I saw a picture of myself from yesterday and feel like my arms looked big.

I would be willing to send pictures via DM if anyone could analyze this based off of objective standards. I'm also curious about what other women around my age have done and what they have settled on.
