Blubber and fat are the same thing - the terms are interchangeable. You just tend to hear the word "blubber" used more with animals, usually marine mammals, and usually implies a way in which animals keep warm. Chemically, they are the same.

In the term you're asking this question, I'm assuming you mean when someone says that about someone that is 'overweight'. Thick = generally a larger person in stature, usually with a bigger frame/bone structure with some body fat present. Fat = No matter what the stature is, they hold a lot of body fat all over their entire body that is very noticeable in clothes or not. Chubby = somewhere in between two. Carries a reasonable amount of body fat, that is usually more distinguishable when they remove their clothing. This type of fat is more predominant in certain areas of the body - like the belly, love handles and on the cheeks of their face.

I'm not sure but I think fat is extra weight that has no benefits to the animal where as blubber helps the animal to keep warm and provides energy when the food supply is low

2. excess body fat.
3. an act of weeping noisily and without restraint.
Fat:
1.having too much flabby tissue; corpulent; obese: a fat person.
2. plump; well-fed: a good, fat chicken.
3. consisting of or containing fat; greasy; oily: fat gravy; fat meat.

I believe it is just what you said. Blubber on aquatic mammals and fat on land animals. It may also be denser than fat as aquatic animals would require better insulation , due to heat loss in water, than land animals.
Fat is actually a slang term , the correct term is Adipose tissue . That may help in your searching.
