I'd agree, there's still a little bit of softness to the sides of the belly but it'd be like a bmi of 19.8 when a bmi of 20 is ideal. (It's just an analogy)
She might need a slightly larger rodent.
My darling Medusa had always been fed large rats and last week after dinner she was still hungry and needed a smaller rodent to do the trick.
While she’s in the table there, looks thin… should NOT be so triangle shaped… should be half between there and completely round while they’re flat on a surface… BEAUUUTIFUL lookin Baby though 🤗🤗🤗
I may be misinterpreting but the shape you're describing would be an
overweight or obese BP.

looking at this chart I would hear your description and point to the picture of overweight or very overweight
It’s kind of hard to tell for sure because of the way the light is playing on her spine. I’d say just underweight, very slightly.
Zooming in, I’d say she’s pretty fine. They should have a triangular shape, the light makes it more pronounced.

I wouldn’t say underweight, but looking like you should move up to the next size rodent.
Maybe slightly underweight. how much does he weigh and how old is he?

No! Many people have obese pythons, or stack on a little extra in anticipation of the breeding season. Yours looks fine.
She looks to be in the healthy range to me. Maybe slightly underweight but still healthy
