Fatty liver comes from power feeding as youngsters in order to get them to breeding size faster.
Ours womas have been on rats since we have gotten them but we feed meals just big enough to show a slight bulge. When they were on hoppers we fed them about every 5 days now that they are a bit older (about 18 months) they get a small rat every 7 days. This has yielded a steady growth rate but they all maintain the nice shape with a defined dorsal line and by no means are overweight. The only difficulty in this is they are always hungry and handling without getting bitten was fun. They have just recently began to mellow out and have become quite pleasant to handle. They are super active and come out to you when you open the enclosure door.
On a side note, one our females (the most voracious feeder) appears to have a throwback from what appears to be the larger woma local. Her pattern is just like her siblings however her head is identical to the nearly patternless one in the pdf you posted. The head is elongated and the eyes are much smaller in relation to the head than the other two.
At what age did you start having issues with them trying to eat you? lol I've heard of others having this issue with Womas ongoing. So far, neither of my little ones have done that yet. Both of the little turds have sat straight up and charged me a couple of times when I tried to pick them up, though! lol Those were isolated incidents, though. I think I startled them was all... All I could do was laugh, as I tried to explain to them how much bigger I am than they are! LOL! it's amazing how fearless such a little creature can be!

Both of my Womas have the same appearance as the upper-most Woma in the PDF file. They both have that more yellow-ish/green-ish background color. The PDF is unclear which locale that one is...
