Hi...I feel that your kid is having obesity. Childhood obesity is nowadays seen as a harbinger of early onset diabetes and other chronic health conditions. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get her evaluated. There are 2 types of obesity - endogenous (due to hormonal imbalance and syndrome related) and exogenous (due to excess food or steroid usage). She needs evaluation.
