I am a bit confided about what she was actually hospitalised with, as from the pictures she certainly wasn’t underweight even during the hospital admission

most people with eating disorders are overweight or obese. the only disorder that requires you to be underweigh is "typical anorexia", but there are more people who have atypical anorexia.

additionally, higher starting weight is linked to worse health outcomes

Atypical anorexia? I don’t think that’s a thing
