I've posted regarding my female leopard geckos weight before. Olive currently weighs 67.33 grams and is about three years old. She is quite a tubby girl and has been for almost a year now. I went to my vet 8ish months ago because I thought something was wrong and they told me she was just fat. My question is there any way I can slim her down? I fell quite guilty seeing her like this- I just don't know what to do. For awhile I was feeding her every other day before I realized she was older than I thought and didn't need food that often. Now she gets fed crickets three times a week: Monday (calcium with D3), Thursday (vitamins), and Saturday (no supplements or just plain calcium). She was just refusing food for about a month as a result of her ovulation but she's starting to pick up on eating again.
Heres some pics of her tubby tummy tonight and a week ago:

She's always been kinda round:
First week I got her 10/2017
Seven months after I had her 5/2018 (she's not living with another leo anymore- I have separated them, don't worry. Also the other leo is a female so no issues with the possibility she was/is gravid)
Any tips to help slim her down? Maybe she just gains her weight there for some reason? Thanks!
