She is either pregnant or extremely overfed. I'd go with pregnant. It's almost impossible to give an estimate of when a balloon molly will give birth, most livebearer experts still have to guess, or else record the days since she last gave birth and hope she's got a pretty regular drop cycle.
 
Its not overfed at all...

Take a picture from a overhead view, balloon mollie are easy to tell how long they will be to drop by thier width.
 
heres a pic of birds eye veiw
