She could be prego because she is big. She may get the gravid spot a litter later on . Have you been feeding her a lot? She is a female though.
 
No feeding them the same she has been like this for a couple weeks and all the others are the same size
 
I think guppys have their fry in 30days ether that or 90. Just make sure you have room because they have a lot of batches of fry!
 
I agree that looks like a bloated male guppy. Try fasting the whole tank for a few days and feed a deshelled, blanched, crushed pea. If after a week the guppy is still the same will we look into internal paricites. Guppies are usually pregnant for around a month give or take a week.
 
The easiest most accurate way of telling gender is the last fin before the tail in a male it's pointy for fertilizing the girls, in girls it's more of a fanned shape I do t know what's it's story but in my opinion this is a boy. :)
