on a scale of 1 - 10 he had a fitness of 5
He should have a fitness of 7 but he never did.
Even when he was younger, he was not that fit.
The sentence seems to mean that he was unhealthy.

The "should have been" grammar re-imagines the past. Either this certainly wasn't the case, or you really don't know and are theorising about the past. As I see it, the end of the sentence is saying "he never really was fit".
The sentence means you believe he had the potential to be fit, but he never reached that potential.

I think it means他从来就没瘦过、他的体型从来就没有正常过。
