In order to lose weight a person has to eat less calories than he or she uses. A person can do this by actively eating less calories or by actively burning more calories, or both. If your wife isn't losing weight, then she is eating more calories than she is using, or equally as many. If I was her I would keep track of my diet using fitday.com, and then plan out a diet in which I eat 10% less calories, and stick to that for a while, and then see if I am losing weight, and if I'm not then I would lower my caloric intake by another 10%, and see if that works. The diet would consist of all whole foods, and be divided into 4-6 small meals, spaced evenly throughout the day. The diet would have a 33:33:33 ratio of carbs to fats to protein. I would do all this while continuing to go to the gym with a consistant routine. No sugar. I don't know if that would do anything for being bloaty though. No drinking anything except water.

A really good diet is probably better than losing the weight, anyway.
