4 months is a little early to develop eggs. And on top of that, you have had her for three weeks. So, more than likely, she did not successfully mate with a male before you got her.
SHe does look well fed, judging by the fat pads on her casque. So she may just be carrying some extra weight.

Oh thats brilliant news. We are unsure of how old she is- i am attaching a picture and maybe you will able to give a rough age of how old she is.

With the Exo Terra how long can she live in this depending on her size or can she happily live in this for her whole life????

Thanks

im sorry to say this but your chameleons looks like it has mbd ,as her casque looks strange & her leg is bowed
you also need to use calcium aswell as nutrobal on your feeders

She is older than 4 months. Maybe 7 or 8 months or more.

She needs to see a VET asap! She looks to have MBD and a problem with her mouth (rot?)

Can't really tell but looks like that UVB bulb is inside a plastic tube. If so it's pointless seeing UV doesn't travel through plastic or glass. Also that 100Watt bulb is way too hot for her in that little glass cage.
