I don't know if I would be very concered, but it would all depend on how old she is. Some kids carry baby weight for a long time before they slim up. What you can do is promote healthy eating and living. This way she won't gain any wieght and being active she may take off some of her weight. You may want to check with her doctor and see what weight percentile she is in and find out if he has any recommendation.
