Its hard to say what a normal weight is for a 4 year old sulcata. If she is healthy and her shell looks good then it could be normal for her.

That is on the small side, but not unheard of. What concerns me is that its a bit light for that length. I've got a female the is just a bit smaller than that and she weighs in at around 9 pounds. Might want to look at the diet, hydration and enclosure conditions just to make sure everything is where you want it.

They all grow at different rates and conditions, therefor as long as she looks great and his active and eating, the shells hard
then you have nothing to worry about.

The most Important thing is a Varied diet,
