social anxiety

Social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia) is a mental health condition. It is an intense, persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. This fear can affect work, school, and your other day-to-day activities. It can even make it hard to make and keep friends.

shy

In this particular context, I would rather opt to use "shy" no more. This is simply because the respondent, the woman being interviewed, is not talking about certain and narrow definite psychological terminology; she is just telling about her uncomfortable feeling of being overweight. In addition to this, "shy" in itself has an implication of someone being or feeling, in a sense, embarrassed of the people around, i.e. the social life around.
