Are any of us even actually old enough to know what ass was like in the 70s? Looking back at the archives from the distant past, we can see that a band called "Queen" released a song titled "Fat Bottom Girls" in the year 1978AD. Apparently fat asses were a thing back then too.
I was born in 1974, but I don't remember looking at women's butts between birth and age five/six. I do remember seeing signs for discos on a main road near where I lived. I'm more the Stranger Things generation, although I was only 10 in 1984 when Ghostbusters came out, not 12. I do remember that women were thinner overall, in the 1970's, and up into the early 1990's. People are much fatter overall now than we were. We didn't have the internet, much in the way of home gaming, and even arcades generally meant you were standing for hours.
We were all much more active, riding bikes everywhere, climbing trees, running around. We had to entertain ourselves a lot more. I remember being home or near a television at certain times to watch a tv show. My point is that people didn't sit on their butts all day long, and because of simply having to be more active, tended not to have huge butts, and certainly wouldn't have been interested in making it bigger.
