Sorry about the bad quality pictures but hope you can see a little.
 
Does she have a gravid spot? I have a Molly with the same shape belly, she was in my opinion underweight when I got her, and I don't know if she's preg or just gaining weight. I guess you need to check for a gravid spot,

If you see what I mean? If she's been in with males or is housed with males now chances are she is :)

Whats a gravid spot?
 
The dark area at the bottom of her tummy, erm you can see it roughly on the photo I posted but it's a dark area on the bottom of their belly, my phone won't let me upload a better photo as I'm not at home but if you google a gravid spot on Platy you will get an idea :) sorry I can't help more, on your pics I struggle to tell if she has a gravid spot.
