'Fattest' polygons based on diameter and 'least width' Definitions: The diameter of a convex region is the greatest distance between any pair of points in the region. The least width of a $2$D convex region can be defined as the least distance between any pair of parallel lines that touch the region. Let us refer to a polygon as 'fat' if the ratio between its diameter and least width (call this the 'thinness ratio') is low.
General Question: Given a general $n$, which $n$-gon is the fattest? For which values of $n$ (if at all) is the fattest n-gon a regular $n$-gon?
2 Special cases:
-For $n =3$, the equilateral triangle is the fattest. The thinness ratio is $2/\sqrt(3) \approx 1.15$.
-For $n = 4$, the square is not the fattest - its thinness ratio is $\sqrt{2}$. As pointed out by Yakov Baruch below, if we form a quad by adding a vertex arbitrarily close to one of the vertices of an equilateral triangle, its thinness ratio is only about $1.15$.
Some Further Queries: Thanks very much to Prof. O'Rourke for the pointer to Bezdek and Fodor's work (answer below) that answers just the above question.  One could ask a further question: Given values for area and perimeter, which convex shape (not necessarily polygonal) is the most/least fat?
For fixed $A$ and $P$ within a suitable range (from perimeter equal to that of circle of area $A$ to perimeter of a Reuleux triangle with area $A$), it appears that fatness is maximized by curves of constant width (https://nandacumar.blogspot.com/2012/11/maximizing-and-minimizing-diameter-ii.html). For $P$ values greater than this range, I don't know.
For specified $A$ and $P$, diameter is maximized by a 'convex lens' shape as given  in above linked page. But this shape does not seem to minimize fatness.

discusses this problem, which I believe is equivalent to your question:

Find for all $n$ which convex polygon with unit diameter has the largest width.

They cite Bezdek and Fodor for these results:
(a) The maximum width satisfies $W_n \le \cos \frac{\pi}{2n}$ for $n \ge 3$ and equality holds
if $n$ has an odd divisor greater than $1$.
(b) If $n$ has an odd prime divisor then a polygon $V_n$ is extremal if and only if it is equilateral and is inscribed in a Reuleaux polygon of constant width $1$, so that the vertices of the Reuleaux polygon are also vertices of $V_n$.
(c) Results are also obtained for quadrilaterals: $W_4 = \sqrt{3}/2 \; (=W_3)$. Moreover, all extreme quadrilaterals have the property that three of their vertices form a regular triangle and the fourth vertex is contained in the Reuleaux triangle determined by the three vertices.
