  We really can’t give you that info. A vet needs to physically examine her to feel anatomical landmarks and give you an accurate idea for her frame. Rabbit sizes are “ideal” ranges for purebred rabbits, but depending on the parents’ size, diet and lineage, it really can vary.

  Totally no way to tell you. There are weight categories for breeds (say 4-6 lbs) however that just means that a rabbit that weighs 7lbs in that breed couldn’t show. Not that he’s over weight. He could just be big.
  Also-most pet stores and shelters have NO idea what their rabbit breed is. It’s hard to tell. Unless you have a pedigreed rabbit you can’t even know for certain what weight he ‘should’ be to be a proper example of the breed (again noting that they could be obese and still in that category).
  
  In general a double chin means they are a little chunky.
  And you should never be able to see ribs or the spine or the hip bones-that’s way too skinny.
  Your vet can tell you for sure-but even with pictures we couldn’t really tell you if your bun is chunky or good or too thin-it’s very hard visually to assess.
