She should get bloodwork done to check her cholesterol/glucose/triglycerides/etc levels checked.
Since you are her b/f, you could suggest going on long walks with you, and start cooking her some healthier foods. Cut back on all the high chol foods and high in sugar and trans fats and eat more healthier foods, lots of fruits and vegetables.
How does she feel about her weight?

I would suggest your gf is morbidly obese, and should consider losing some weight. In her current condition she will be putting excess strain on her heart and joints. A 5'8" woman should weigh about 8-9 stones

She should be 9.5 to 11.5 stones for her height (130-165lbs) So she is considered to be obese at her weight. She is at risk for heart and other organ disease due to her weight.
