Ethiopian men’s body preferences of women?

Hello, I’m a thick sized African American woman dating a skinny and tall Ethiopian man. Sometimes I get self conscious because I’m larger but he doesn’t seem to care. I’m trying my very best to eat well and exercise to be the best version of myself and to be more attractive body wise. I’ve always wondered if Ethiopian men prefer larger women even if they’re smaller or should I continue to go hard with exercise to be more appealing to him and what the culture is used to or celebrates.
