Hello good evening,
Intermittent fasting is not good to go longer with it. She must have to stop continuing it further. I need her age and height to suggest for a ideal body weight according to the BMI. The reason for weight gain is may be nutritional deficiencies. She can be malnourished by continue following intermittent fasting.
Next Steps
she should take a proper balanced diet regularly. instead of intermittent fasting she can fast weekly once or twice but that should not be a complete fast.
