Feed it a quarter of a pea and see if that helps. I have no clue why it’s that bloated. What are you water parameters? What else is in the tank?

Can you clarify the pea suggestion? 🙂 I assume a pea size portion or a pea??? Have a few tetras, bettas, loaches and peppered catfish. Don't know parameters. Could methalyne blue help?
 
Kinda looks like dropsy, which is usually fatal. Try fasting her for a day or two and give her a boiled pea. If that doesn’t help, I’ll have to assume it’s dropsy :(
 
For the pea, skin it and boil it, make sure the fish doesn't fall to the bottom of the tank or just get it out and put it in a quarantine tank. It will likely not make it for much longer.
