Hi,
Considering her age, she could be into peri-menopause and the light periods may be due to that. The declining hormonal state may create several symptoms. As pregnancy has been excluded, I suggest that you take her to a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and proper guidance. A trans-vaginal sonogram will definitely localize any anomalies. the increasing tummy could be due to fat accumulation as often happens at this stage.Take care.
