There comes a time as a parent that we all have to trust in our childs ability to make the right choices as we have taught them to during their upbringing. Im 35 and my mother is still constantly in my face about everything! Even to the point of telling me to put a jacket on before I go outside!!! I mean Helloooooooo Im 35 and Im a mother of 5 children, think I should know when to wear a jacket by now thanks mum! lol I normally just grit my teeth an bear it, but from time to time it gets a bit to much and I do have to just tell my mother that Im a big girl now and I dont need her consent or permission to do things!
Think all any of us parents can do is raise our children to hopefully have a wise head on their shoulders and to know that they can come to us for anything and we will always be there for them. Provide space to be their own person with the comfort of backup support when or if they need it!

Tell her you would rather be nosy only because you LOVE HER,and you don't want to see her hurt! A parent can never be to nosy with there children.

It's time to let go and let her live her own life. She's an adult now and she needs to learn to be independent and self-sufficient. She can't do this with you looking over her shoulder. Trust that she's learned what you've tried to teach her and let her be.

If she's 20 leave her alone, you aren't doing her any favors at all, she has to experience life on her own now.
