Is she too fat?

So, I have my first gecko since december. As far as I know, she's around 2-3 years old.
I was feeding her about 15 mealworms each other day, last week I dropped the feeding count to about 10.
She's shed 2 times since I got her and her body and tail has gained significant volume.

She's at about 60gr. now.

Here's a pic I took earlier today (before feeding)

she looks pretty good to me.

She looks good in my opinion, no protein bubbles, tail looks proportional and not too large. 60g for a 2-3 year old adult is pretty good.

I have that same bowl, and in reference to that she seems a bit short and small. To me, she probably is only a year or so. I personally wouldn't reduce the amount of feeding right now, she looks like she had plenty of room to grow.

I would get her off the calcium sand ASAP. It's one of the most dangerous substrates for Leo's as if they consume it they cannot digest which can cause a blockage in the intestines also known as impaction, it is also usually fatal. I lost my firstleo to this.

Also, Leo's may be from the desert.... But this does not mean that sand is natural for them!!! They actually live in scrublands with hard compacted earth with little or no loose substrate... Also you can tell they don't live naturally on sand as their feet sink!!! Desert dwelling lizard have long flat and wide feet to help them walk on sand where as Leo's have short stubby feet which makes them sink!!!

Best substrate is paper towels or slate tiles if you want something more natural looking

That's the X-small bowl. A haven't measured her lately but she was around 6-7" when I took her.
