I never thought this was a problem as its common to reject people for their age, height, political leanings, gender and religion. Obviously people have their preferences and standards and its better to be upfront honest and not lead a person on. But I think people should still consider whether to be directly honest. For example, if the person suffers from some body image problem, but then again weight isn't the only thing people have struggled with their self image.
Is there a problem with telling someone you rejected them for their weight?

You can reject people for their age, height, weight etc.... that's fine , you can't date people that you are not physically attract to.
But i don't think telling them that you rejected them because of their weight is ok, this people will already feel bad to be rejected after their gather all their courage to confess.
They don't need to feel even more bad, by feeling bad about their own body, because it can have big repercussion on their mental
and i don't understand why would people want to hurt someone by telling them that you rejected them for their weight when you can rejected them nicely, and if they ask the reason still lie and say that you are attracted by someone else, it's better than hurt them for nothing

But their minds will still wonder "why was I rejected", they will very likely suspect its their physical looks. So either way they would be tormented. At least with honesty they'd have SOME peace of mind and not have to overthink "why not me". Obviously nobody is going to match the ideals of almost everyone, so it's better for people to accept that's how it is, rather than play mind games and let doubt fester in their heads.

Like i said you can still lie and say that you're attracted by someone else
you have a crush on someone else
or that you feel that you're better as friends
they'll have an answer to why they were rejected, but will not be hurt by you rejecting them for their weight

you can't say that in a nice way.

YES ITS A PROBLEM

well personally I would agree with most sentiments already echoed here in that it is not Politically Correct to say the reason for one's rejection is weight but there is nothing inherently wrong with weight as a factor for rejecting someone...
as others have said just say no not interested and only if they push you then do you give such reason...

I think they already know in that case...

Yrs, it's very offensive. Just keep it to yourself.

Yeah, but what if they then say "Is it because of my weight?", still lie?
Yes!
