Halflings are
basically Allometricly scaled humans - and it shows in their weight.
Gnomes and dwarves however are not, the same way that an elephant is not an allometrically scaled up horse. Typically these would have heads more like humans with gigantism (everyone seems to draw them with heavy brows and jaws), stout large, almost-human-sized torsos for gnomes (or even more-massive-than for Dwarves), and stout, strong limbs. These are digger people - and they have rather mole-like proportions. I'd even bet they have stiff spines, like other tunneling mammals.
