This is a general question I have about weight. I have noticed that heavier people have more defined calf muscles. Is this true? If so, is it because they carry more weight and their legs receive more strength training?

 Hi The Donkey,
I don't know that this question has ever been studies to find out for sure. It does seem plausible that carrying more weight while walking would lead to stronger leg muscles; however, in general, obesity is associated with less strength and fitness.
The definition you are seeing may be due to increased muscle bulk or more underlying lipid tissue.
Best wishes.
