My coworkers are picking on me because I'm quiet and I do my job. What should I do?

If they look lazy, it's because they're lazy. Simple. The people who take issue with that and tell me "go slower, do less" are the type of people who drag others down to their level so they don't feel shit about themselves. I didn't complain about their productivity either. You're reading what you want to read. I complained that I was doing someone else's work when they weren't even doing it.

That mentality permeates their life. I see it. "I'm fat so I will bring in lots of candy, specifically my co-workers faves, and she will eat it and get fat too". Seriously, one of 'em said that. Not "I will lose weight to feel good", but "I will make others fat to feel good". Everything is negative. I was late once because my car broke and I paid almost $300 to fix it. "Oh that's expensive, how terrible". Well, I pay it or I don't have a car. I need a car. They cost money. Why even make that comment? What am I supposed to say to that? Just gotta bring everyone down cause they're miserable. They don't need me to show them up, they do it every day themselves by being gross people.
