question
grammar meaning
What does the 「な」 mean in 「出過ぎず、足りな過ぎずな完璧な躰は」?
As already answered in the comment, "出過ぎず、足りなすぎず" as a whole is used as a na-
adjective.

出過ぎず足りなすぎない完璧な躰 would be also fine and more "standard", but in this case
出過ぎず足りなすぎず is a kind of set phrase, so probably the author did not want to
conjugate it.

Similar example:

>   * 早い朝食 early breakfast
>   * 早くな朝食 (incorrect)
>   * 早くもなく遅くもない朝食 (standard)
>   * 早くもなく遅くもなくな朝食 (perhaps nonstandard, but OK) not-so-early-but-not-so-late
> breakfast
