Cosplay is a hobby meant to be fun before anything else, so I'd say go ahead and cosplay whoever you want, regardless of whether your body type matches theirs. While having a body type that matches the character you're cosplaying can make your cosplay look more "accurate" or more like that character has come to life, having the exact body type of certain characters is downright impossible, so I wouldn't get too hung up on the body type piece of cosplay. Trying to only cosplay characters that "match" your body type also limits how many characters you may allow yourself to cosplay or cause you to think you can't cosplay a favorite character, which just takes the fun out of it. If you're using a cosplay as a goal to get in shape, however, that could be good motivation to invest in your health!
