Your tv is 4:3? I have never heard of a 4:3 tv with HDMI in.
What resolution is kodi running at?

More likely then having a 4:3 TV with HDMI, maybe you have some options set wrong on the TV for picture size or it is getting bad EDID info and defaulting to a 4:3 resolution.
What is the make and model of the TV?
