She does look a bit gravid but needs a bit more "squaring" up around the anal fin. Its unusual shes not eating, platys normally dont stop eating.
What else is in the tank with her?

theres just platties, molly, kuhli loach ,neons and a betta, shes either right up top in the plants or low hiding in the caves/plants etc.

She may still be settling in a bit then if shes only been in there 2 days. None of the other fish are hassling her are they?

Sorry you lost her.
With livebearers it's usually the first batch or when they're quite old that's a problem if there's going to be one.
