Is it possible that he is shedding? We have a "HUGE" pac man at the shop I work at that occasionally looks like it's sides are full of air. She basically "fluffs up" to stretch the skin to shed it off.

How long had he looked like this? What's his set-up like? Temps, substrate, what do you feed him? Just basics to help others offer possible answers.

Could the frog have gained extra girth, from either eating more than usual or its tank being moister than normal? My female cranwell always has "rolls" of fat on either side of her, and she looks much wider after a soak in her water bowl. They retain moisture like sponges.
Maybe your frog has absorbed more water than usual, and it's water weight gain?
Could you get a pic? If it's something drastically wrong, or the frog is discolored, I would go to a good herp vet. Could be
