I an open screened tank alot of heat that the undertank and heat lamps is lost. She may be staying in her hide because it holds heat there. Try covering 80% of the top with a towel to hold the heat in, (but not over the heat lamp). Doing that has workked very well for me with bearded dragons that would otherwise just stay directly under thier heatlamp.
THe other thing to consider is that it is the fall and you can't fool them they know when to slow down and hibernate.
If her weight is up I wouldn't be too concerned.
Mike.
