Yes they definitely are. Its called the halo effect. Good looking people can also be judged less for mistakes or even crimes they've made (like in the case of Jeremy Meeks, he landed a model contract because of his mug shot that had gone viral, many didn't seem to be so bothered by the fact that he was currently in jail and was going to start modelling as soon as he'd come out).
For instance with your weight loss, when you weighted more you had what was called the devil effect, you weren't treated as nicely because the fat attributes were associated with unkemptness, laziness, and irresponsibility. All negative traits. Even just small difference often leads to a more positive outcome.
Sadly its nature so there isn't anything you can do to change it.
there's quite a lot to read about it:

maybe it s your subconscious cause you approve yourself more,
feel more confident and instantively reflect it on others.
so basically what you re feeling about yourself, you re projecting it on others.
other example when you re depressed or low, you feel as if everyone hates you or think your ugly. which is not true cs most people couls care less.
buuut it s more of a projection of yourself into others.
now other than that, of course in general, good looking people are threated better.
Guys, where do you live? I've read similar question hundreds of times, in my country there everyone is treated according to their personality. You can see lots of 5/10 guys with 10/10 girls and 10/10 guys with 5/10 girls and people respect everyone equally, no matter how fit you are.
Since when weight matters so much?
Sadly yes
I used to be fat when I was 16, dropped the weight by 17, and the world treated me much, much better. Some may think "oh that's just shallow teens" but no, everyone. Younger teens, older teens, teachers, old people in retirement, etc. This is not my own experience either, you can find thousands of stories online from different people with the same experience:

I wouldn't say its because your fit more confidence. but I been on both ends chubby and fit. your more confident when fit and don't relise it. people see that and it makes you more approachable

Society in general holds outward beauty as some kind of symbol that your a good person inside. The best people I've ever had the privilege to walk the earth with aren't super models. They got treated like shit by most people simply because they weren't outwardly beautiful. Funny, most really good looking people I've met were pretty toxic inside.
obviously.
it shows character and beauty, health and sex are powerful tools
what people hate is the corruption that happens with power. but if those people werent attracted to them, they wouldn't hate because of the irrelevance.
so, if you hate on good looking people, you're attracted to them.It's sad but true. The way we dictate who's worth our time and effort is based off how other people look. I wish it was different.
In my experience not really. I'm skinny, fit, and young but people still treat me like crap and they often try to feed me to make me look fatter.
People are nicer to attractive people, and fit people tend to look better.
"Once you treat yourself better, others will follow"
Obviously, looks are probably the most important thing in life from societies view.
the more its true, the less i feel sad for bloody massacres.
Not from my experience, unless its a guy to a fit girl then yes
Yes, people are nicer, more polite and kinder to good looking folks.
People are usually nicer to good looking people.
I think so. I'm fit and people are so nice to me.
There's no doubt about it..
I treat everyone equally I'm sure most do.
yeah without realizing
Only bad people.
Hmm no?
Yes they are.
