Personally I think that there is no difference when shooting subq or IM.
OTOH there may be some personal differences.
I for example cannot tolerate my 31Ga 5/16" needle in my thighs, hurts three days latter.
I tried everywhere else, fat around navel, glutes, delts, no problem.
Somebody else was complaining about shooting around navel.
I would not think twice about how shots are delivered, fat or muscle should not make any difference.
Just stay away from veins.
