Can I get some body condition opinions?

According to the scale, my 5 year old has been losing weight recently. Now, I think she still looks and feels okay, but I'd like some second opinions to either put my mind at ease or correct me. Thank you!

She is definitely NOT underweight.

She looks good! Maybe a little on the hefty side, but no hips visible. What's your feeding schedule like for her?

Adult mouse every two weeks. Could stretch that out if she needs it (I have another corn on one every three weeks). She's hovering right around 4' and at 600 grams. She has lost ~60g in the past four months, without a change in diet. Not sure why, I'll keep monitoring, but if she's looking healthier with the weight loss then maybe that's okay, ha.

A couple minutes after this photo she became 19 grams lighter so if her tail looks a little chunky here... 😅

Sounds like a good schedule to me. If she continues to lose weight, maybe try a 10 day frequency?
