They're just like people, some have a higher metabolism than others, some get table scraps (not a good idea), and some get more exercise than others. You should be able to feel her individual ribs under a thin layer of fat, but not see them.
I agree I would not restrict her food too much at this point since she is still a puppy. As she gets older, if you see that she is too fat or too thin, I would modify her ration then.
