Male or female?

Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've been on GF, but I'm back! My gecko, Sammy, is about a year and five months old, and I had assumed she was a boy, but I'm feeling like she's a girl. This is probably going to sound really dumb, and it's kind of embarrassing, but I've got an issue. I just can't seem to figure out which gender she is.

When I first checked her/him (I'm just going to say "her" for now) she was about a 10 months old. She had the bulges a male would have, but didn't have the pores like a male. At the time I just thought maybe she was a late bloomer and hadn't finished developing. About a month ago now, I checked her again, and those bulges are no longer there, and the pores still aren't visible, so now I'm thinking she's a girl.

I'm not sure what those bulges were when I checked her the first time, but since they're gone now I'm a bit confused. Can you guys help me out?

Here are some pictures! (I could only get her to hold still for one good picture, but the others are just for fun!)

I'm pretty sure she's a female, but I'm no expert, and I wanted to be for sure. I'm also really curious as to why she had bulges like a male for a little while. Maybe a fat buildup? I'm not sure.

Also, this is a little off-topic, but what's a good weight for a female? Like I said, she's about a year and five months old. She's around 8.25 inches, maybe 8.5 and currently weighs 63 grams.

Thank you!

Looks female to me, I had a hatchling look male for sure, and sold off the only male I really had for this reason. Then at 30 grams he sure started to look like she and at 50 grams there was no doubt female
