I do weight lifting twice a week, 30 minutes of medium intensity cardio 2-3 times a week and 5km walks almost every day.
At the same time I've gone from 175lbs to 212lbs with mostly fat gains (and still going). I'm fatter than most of my friends yet have way better aerobic endurance than them plus some nice muscle mass underneath the fat to support my activity.
Being fat and fit is definitely doable, though there's no getting around the fact that it WILL get harder as you get heavier. I highly recommend taking gaining breaks and maintaining periodically to give yourself time to build endurance and strength at new weights before getting heavier.

It's as simple as eating more calories.
For one you should start counting your calorie intake and ideally figure out how many you are burning through swimming and walking. You'll also want to know your daily required amount to keep your weight.
My guess is that if you're in the low 200s, eating 3200 calories a day will likely be enough to ensure you are at a surplus of some kind (though it might be a small one potentially).
Easiest way to get those calories in would be drinking heavy cream at the end of every day. Combine that with increased portion sizes for every meal and some added snaking in between and you won't be able to stop getting fatter.

A little update.
Over the last several months I have been in more of a maintenance mode, though I've still put on 10lbs or so. Throughout the majority of that time heavy cream has been a staple of my diet, only I've been using it to but maintenance calories instead of a surplus (most of the time).
Here are the updated measurements:
Waist - 42.8 inches
Hips - 43. 1 inches
Thighs - 26.8 inches
Weight - 211lbs
I would say that my body has continued to fatten in the way it always has, whether I was using heavy cream or not. The nice part is that my lower belly, which has always been the area collecting subcutaneous fat, is now thick enough that its beginning to form an overhang. I've also got larger love handles now and my butt is slightly bigger.
My conclusion is that heavy cream is fantastic for adding calories to your diet, especially if you're looking to do it in a relatively healthy way, but it doesn't have a major impact on one's body shape and distribution.
I'm very fortunate in that my belly isn't all visceral fat and the slowly accumulating softness is enough to motivate me to get fatter. Hoping to gain another 40 lbs over the next couple years.

Every day you feel fatter and when you wake up you get to inspect yourself for new gains, it's fun!
I swear there have been times where I got fatter throughout the day when I'm drinking lots of heavy cream.

If you're not already counting calories then it's time to start. I realize that many prefer not count them and enjoy the freedom of eating whatever they want but due to the high intake required to gain weight at 300lbs its pretty much a requirement.
You're gonna also want to figure out your maintenance calorie amount (how many calories it takes to maintain your weight), which you can find via google, and add 500-1000 calories on top of that.
If you're already 300lbs then I'm sure you've noticed that grazing is a much more reliable way to fit in calories than stuffing, as you don't really ever get full. Most supersized folk have a habit of constantly snacking.
Lastly start drinking heavy cream. 2 cups of heavy cream is over 1400 calories, so by drinking some at the end of your day you can really push that total daily calorie number. I recommend mixing it with some kind of chocolate flavouring (like a syrup or tasty protein powder) to improve the experience.

For the longest time this was something I wondered about a lot too. I started gaining at around 140lbs and while the distribution did seem to be decently even, my belly just kept getting bigger and was moreso firm than soft. The lower part of my belly did slowly get softer but when I looked in the mirror it seemed like I was never going to get belly hang, which imo made me look more like a thin person that gained weigh than a fat person (if that makes sense).
But that started to change after I surpassed 200lbs. At first the difference was pretty minimal but since hitting 211lbs, which is my current weight, I've noticed that I'm finally developing a belly overhang and it's creating a softer shape and feel to my belly as a whole.
Right now it's just like a crease of where the overhang will begin but I imagine that within 20lbs I'll have a proper overhang when unclothed. At my current weight I have an overhang when wearing pants.

There's a technique for staying soft while orgasming that read about.
You basically only pleasure the penis while it's soft and if it gets hard, you neglect it until goes back down. Eventually this gets you to the point where you've edged for so long that, given the right stimulation, you can cum while soft. Using a vibrator to finish the deal helps with reaching a climax before the penis gets hard again.
Do this enough times and the body slowly begins to learn that getting hard is not the proper response to sexual stimulation, but that staying soft is instead. This makes the dick even more like a clit because now it stays small and sensitive when you play with it, penetration is impossible and cum just leaks out during an orgasm.

- being soft feels really really good
- having a much larger appetite is satisfying if you enjoy eating (because you get to do it a lot more and people will give you food)
- it looks cute af
- if you stay active then you get stronger legs
- demand more of a presence
- you develop more erogenous zones and they become more sensitive, making sex more enjoyable

Chiming in here with some info.
Firstly I'm going to disagree that the heavy cream is a heart attack waiting to happen. I can link studies if you'd like but it's been observed that dairy fats either have a neutral or beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and that saturated fats from dairy DO NOT work like the kinds we find in junk food.
Second I just wanted to mention that pizza, fries, PB&J, etc is usually loaded with simple carbs that WILL contribute to diabetes, visceral fat, inflammation and metabolic health problems.

I often see people talk about "adjusting to the weight". I think the idea is that after a large gain some people want to maintain their new weight for a chunk of time so that the body can adjust to being bigger and heavier.
But my question is, is that a real thing? Like does your body ever actually adjust to being heavier or are things just permanently more difficult without weight loss?
