Is the sentence “I am not fond of buffet restaurant at all because I feel immediate stuffy after eating only a little” natural to mean that “I don’t like go to eat in buffet restaurant because I eat only a little but usually people here who eat in buffet restaurant eat a lot”. Let’s say a ticket for one meal is 298 and my family members will eat a lot of seafood and steak because they believe the money amounts to the same amount of food they eat.

See my corrections.
I want it to mean that no quotation marks here I don’t like go to eat in buffet restaurants because I eat only a little but usually other people here who eat in buffet restaurant at them eat a lot. no quotation marks here
Your original sentence doesn't express anything about other people who might eat there.
Let’s say a ticket the price for one meal is 298 [name of currency]. and My family members will eat a lot of seafood and steak because they believe the money amounts to the same amount of food they eat want to get their money's worth.
See above. Your original final ending was grammatically incorrect anyway, but it also suggested that your family members want the amount of food they eat to equal 298. I'm sure you can see how that makes no sense!
 
I'm not keen on buffet restaurants because I get full very quickly.
 
How about "I don't like buffets because I can't eat a lot, so I don't get my money's worth"?

I don't think the phrases "not fond of' and "stuffy" are appropriate. "Stuffy" means "not well ventilated" and has nothing to do with one's stomach being full

That's a good suggestion.

And as you can see, I changed "stuffy" to "stuffed" in post #2.

I have no problem with "I'm not fond of".
