lmao its obviously canon but you have to take it in context. it doesnt just exist in a vaccum. there's a reason why those horrific insults about her body are littered in a chapter in which she goes through an obviously injust and unfair and disgusting misogynistic punishment.
On the contrary, GRRM made a point of having non-malicious commentators acknowledge Cerseis physical flaws, such as that child and later a regretful uncle Kevan. Nor were these references confined to the chapter in which the walk of shame took place. Had only malicious commentators insulted Cersei, I would have dismissed the whole thing outright.
honestly the way you're fixating on it has grossed me out far more than how GRRM wrote it.
I used a textual clue (Cerseis saggy physique) for the sole purpose of determining if she could be with child or not. And I have continued to discuss the topic solely because you remarked on the subject in a way that is differing from how it is described within the text. But feel free to completely distort my intent. I couldnt care less.
either way a couple of mentions of sagging breasts and stretch marks are hardly the things that pop out of my mind of "unflattering appearances" (god forbid lmao) with the other horrific sh-t in this series.
Going by the text, it is obvious that Cerseis body has gone through a change and this change has shocked some, drawn pity from other, while also thrilling many of the smallfolk who were more than happy to laugh at an aging woman (which of course is very sad and cruel). GRRM did intend his description of Cersei in late AFFC/ADWD to be unflattering (he made it plain by contrasting what she had been with what she now was). -

If the spoilers are true Cersei is pregnant, but it ends in a big abortive mess (we're talking gross bloody miscarriage). It can be a way to show Cersei that she will never escape her fate. She'll probably view the pregnancy as a means to disprove the final part of Maggy's prophecy. If she has another child, she'll likely think she's home free since she was only supposed to have three. She'll also likely view Dany as the younger more beautiful queen once she becomes aware of her existence. Thus, she'll think she is further securing her survival by betraying Dany and Jon (only to further seal her fate). She will be cast down by a younger more beautiful one. She will lose all she holds dear. She will not have any more children. Death would have been kinder.

"More beautiful" takes more than a bitch on a lizard.
