Your sister needs to schedule an appointment with her primary care physician. Her doctor knows her, such as age, height and weight, and medical history. The physician can examine her, listen and obtain an up to date history, including her recent exercise program and healthy eating, as well as order any necessary blood tests.
It is possible that she has developed a thyroid gland issue. The thyroid gland plays a key role in metabolism.
A person with an underactive thyroid tend to have a very low basal metabolic rate. One of the most noticeable symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain and difficulty losing extra weight.
