Is she eating and pooping normally? Perhaps she’s egg bound, in which case you can either try to induce her to lay eggs or reabsorb them. I would separate her for a bit to see if maybe she is too stressed from tank mates to spawn. If she isn't eating it could be dropsy. If her scales are pineconing dropsy is probably the cause.
