I mean... on the one hand, you can't wave a magic wand and make someone's insecurities disappear. This is particularly difficult because it's likely your husband gets the message of "thicc manly hunks are amazing" from you, but he also gets the message of "thicc manly hunks = how men OUGHT to be" from mainstream media. That's toxic, and it's unfortunate that it blurs the line between your healthy, totally legit personal preference and peoples' concept of stereotypical masculinity.

On the other hand - and I don't want to get too blamey about this, but people can sometimes be a little more... conspicuous... about their kinks than they realize - you could also do a quiet self-assessment to see if maybe you're feeding into that insecurity by not being as discreet as you could be about your likes/dislikes. "I love you just the way you are" always sounds well meaning, but it definitely comes with a "... and how you are is less than what standards might dictate".
