Has she been to a doctor to get an extensive check up? There are many reasons we women gain weight and then cant get it off again, I know of what I speak. 3 months for me of working out 6 days a week, making more healthy choices on what I eat...grilling instead of frying, steaming veggies etc and I have managed to lose a whopping 12 pounds.
I'd love to hear her side of this

thats actually not that bad. thats still 48 pounds in a year.
keep at it. It's hard, I'm not saying this as a hoity toity weight loss expert either, but thinking long term is the best way to go.
and I don't wanna speak for the OP but i'm pretty sure he specified that she had gained the weight over the course of the relationship, which is actually kind of normal in relationships. People get comfortble, stop feeling the ned to impress thier partner, and let themselves go, which leaves them in a bad place.
the other thing is, in the short term you'll actually be "trading weight" instead of losing weight if you're working out. Muscle in place of fat, muscle is denser, weighs more, but also burns more.
you can't measure in pounds what true "success" looks like, you can measure it in how you feel and look.
