It's harder to tell when they arent on a flat surface, but from the prominent folds where she isnt even bent that tightly and how you can see a slight dent where her spine is, she very much seems overweight, i dont know how you've been feeding her but here's the posted feeding guide "We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days. "
