Welcome to the forum!
Without knowing more and seeing some photos its hard to know what's going on with her. How old is she?

Welcome to the chameleon Forums. If she's fat it's a good chance that she has eggs to lay. I would set up a laying bin for her ASAP. I'm attaching my blog below on the laying bin and egg laying. The curved lump in her back COULD BE MBD or even from when she had MBD in the past. Please fill out the Ask For Help Form above and post a few pictures of her. I'm also attaching my blog for general care for new keepers. Be sure to read the link for female veiled care.
