This fish looks to be pregnant .WIth livebearers it is safe to assume that they are always pregnant. The female fish can have up to 6 births after mating only once.
 
The anal fin look pretty pointed to me so this platy might not be a female after all. Young males can tank some time before developing their man parts and will look like females till then. I might be wrong, but you might find that the platy's anal fin become more pointed after a couple more weeks.

The fish doesn't look all that fat, but rather a healthy weight.

If it is a female, she doesn't look all that pregnant but you should assume that all females that were kept with males are pregnant.
