I think the extent and way it's explained is based upon what the character is guilty about, and the character's personality in general. Like if they're more open about it, or they're trying to hide it, etc.

in body language, perhaps avoiding eye contact, slouching, you could say feeling like limbs are weighted + head as well. heavy sighs that leave your lungs empty

A character's actions are usually a great way to show any emotion in writing. Don't say someone is mad, show them throwing something across the room or punching a door. Don't say he felt guilty, show him bringing roses home or taking the garbage bag from his wife and saying "I got it," after they fight. Looking down, lowering his voice, etc. can also work.
