Unfortunately there is no way to be sure as weights can vary so much. For example two of my females were opposite ends of the scale, one stayed tiny and was 850g at her heaviest and another was really long in the body and got up to 1200g.
You could happen to have a lady who is in the larger side or have been lied to about the age

Apparently if their toes/nails become twisted, it means they're on the older side. Dunno how true that is though!
If they still have their little pointy baby nails (i.e. They haven't been cut) that gives an idea of age. As they grow older it's true their claws start to curl a bit and go a bit more brittle.
Some breeds are bigger than others. My Mollie is a whopper of a piggy - she's a Rex type, too. She is longer, taller, chunkier and heavier than her cage mate. Both are full grown - but she is so much bigger you could be forgiven for thinking they were different ages.
Your girl is a beauty
