You might want to call your vet and ask for advice on what her ideal weight should be so you can figure out how much to feed. They should you advise you without having to bring her in for an exam since you were there recently.

If you don't have a scale to weigh her, I would ask if you could just drop by every couple of weeks to weigh her. I use a postal scale to weigh mine...you can sometimes find the larger ones on Ebay for reasonable price.
