I can tell you from my experience that when I was overweight my SO never said a word about it. When I complained he just said work out then. But that was it. He never told me I was fat, always told me I looked great even though I was the same way as your SO about not wanting to be naked in front of him and that was detrimental to our sex life.
I finally lost the weight once I decided for myself that I needed to do it. She has to want to do it for herself or she will never stick with it. All you can do is be supportive and encourage her when you see her trying. Maybe subtly pointing out the health risks of being overweight might help.
