gaining. have her checked for parasites and worms and if she has them, put off brumation if you can til she is clear. You also might want to not let her breed this season and give her time to get back in shape, egg gestation and laying is very taxing on their systems and a dragon not in real good shape to begin with is not only at risk herself, but the offspring as well can be weak and not thrive
