Cories don’t get pregnant. They are egg layers. She may be egg laden. Does not look good. Definitely bloated or infested with parasites. Do you have males in the tank? @Colin_T thoughts?
 
I’ve been doing salt baths for 2 days

Iv’ve been doing salt baths for 2 days now and they it’s not better
Salt won’t help with eggs. They say you can gently squeeze them out but I wouldn’t try it. Get a male quickly and see if he can entice her to drop them. Add cool water to get temp to drop a few degrees and see if that entices a spawn. She could actually explode.
 
Looks bloated and if it's been like that for a month, it could be a tumour or cyst.

Did it bloat up suddenly a month ago, or did it slowly get fatter?
