I have 4 females born in November. So that makes them about the same age as your girl. They were about the same starting size too. The largest(youngest) one is currently ~500 g. The smallest one(oldest and a slow starter) is close to ~300.
The average growth of the whole lot is a little less than 100g a month just to give you a comparison.

Something is definitely not right. I hope the most your girl has is parasites. Those are easy to get rid of compared to other potential problems.

Ask your vet if there is an option of a cloaca wash to get a fecal sample. It can be a little stressful on the snake, but it will speed some tests up as it might take weeks for her to defecate on her own.
And a full panel just means a whole range of tests from a sample.

As for tank screen top and humidity, there are few options. You can use a larger water bowl and leave it in the hot side of the tank. You can cover 90% of the screen with tin foil, plexiglass, or a damp towel.

Keep us posted!

And thanks for sticking around and giving this forum another chance.

Thanks! I will ask about the cloaca wash when I call for an update.

Yea I read up on what normal weight is supposed to be and it is shocking that she is this light weight.
