Can you get unfit in the game?

Like if I don’t exercise at all but I’m attending to my characters needs like food would it negatively affect my endurance/strength cause I haven’t been exercising?

I am pretty sure you can become overweight in the game by eating more calories than your character burns, if that is what you are asking.

You do loose a teeny tiny bit of strength every so often that you will regain just by doing things so for the past month in my game I would get a +1 strength level up every now and then even though I am already at max strength.

You can get negative traits by becoming either under- or overweight (or worse), these will go away once you reach the ideal weight range of 76 - 84 again.

If you aren't between 76-84 weight you do gain/lose trait related to your weight.

If you end up not keeping your weight stable, your max fitness will become 9 (or worse if you keep losing/gaining). If you were at lvl10, you lose a whole level of experience that you will need to grind back once you lose weight.

There is some trait associated with strength/fitness like unfit, but unfit require being lv 1 or 0 in fitness. While you do lose a tiny amount of experience overtime it only happen when you don't gain experience for a long while, meaning you can lose some xp only once you reach your max level (10, or less depending on your weight) or if you stay completely idle for a long, long period of time.

i believe the fitness and strength stats never go down, even if you do nothing for ages, so you can only get the unfit trait by choosing it at the start.

Are you sure about that? It's problematic design. If it's not a temporary modifier you can keep bouncing above/below the threshold if you're struggling to stay above it and perma-lose all your fitness. That's not that unlikely of a scenario. I know I've hit underweight/overweight before and didn't notice a permanent loss to the stat when I got back to par weight. In fact I'm not sure I lost a point in the stat at all. Underweight and overweight do have other modifiers unrelated to the str/fit stats.

Strength/fitness loss only applies if you choose the trait during character creation.

The underweight/overweight trait you receive because of weight change only affects the chance of tripping over a fence while running and faster stamina loss. Or nothing at all, since I honestly never noticed the difference myself.

The str/fitness loss only apply at char creation, BUT the fitness CAP apply at any time. Two different things. You lose nothing if you didn't reached the cap yet.
