#Is my gecko overweight?

the good news is shes not obese
nqa shes definitely a tad more overweight than the average gecko should be though
geckos are like people. theres not one diet or schedule that will get your gecko to the perfect weight. its something that has to be tested and done for a long time with your own gecko to see what suits them best.
your diet for her, however, is indeed quite a fatty one. of all the common feeders, superworms are probably the worst in terms of health. mealworms are also fatty, but not as much.
i think your gecko happens to have a lower metabolism, meaning shes just going to retain weight longer than others.
i think for her id attempt 5 or so healthier feeders like crickets, dubias or silkworms once a week, and weigh her regularly. and if someone else can chip in, they can do so
