I'm not super concerned because his thorax is very plump. I feed him mealworms, except recently they seem to scare him. It's been over a month now, he's very active so I don't think he's going to molt. He's interested in the food, but then he throws up a threat posture and runs away. Size has never been an issue before, he's about 2.5 in. I think? And he's had "large" meals compared to his size while he was smaller, and I always give him the smallest mealworms I can find. I just am confused I guess. I would like for him to molt but he doesn't appear to be making that process yet. His bum is balding but I'm positive that's because he's always kicking hairs at me lol

Abdomen is plump...not thorax;)

Its plump, early stages of pre molt....no reason to continue offering food, just wait for a molt and keep water available.

Because of larger meals, it plumped quickly, which will lead to a longer pre molt fast period...could be weeks...even months before actually molting.
