Thanks for reaching out about Stitch and including a photo. The picture does not include evidence of bumble foot, which is also not common in hamsters due to soft bedding and does not seem overweight. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess your concerns. Monitor activity, food and water intake. Good luck.
