Hi
It looks rather liks a boar to me. See whether you can gently express a penis or feel the tiny penis ridge under the skin.
How old is this piggy?
Weight gain is not necessarily meaning this is a pregnant sow - a young boar would still put on weight and they all come in different shapes and sizes
See if you can get a clearer picture and particularly a picture of inside the slit - sows have a fleshy seal just inside but boars just go straight down
You can also compare this piggy’s genitals to your other piggy and see whether they look the same

From the angle of your picture, I can't see any sign of descending testicles (swellings to both sides of the genitalia, typical age for descent is 4-6 months) but I also cannot see any sign of the typical female genital features like the padded keyhole opening etc. which would necessary for impregnation and giving birth.
Could you please lower the angle of the picture so it is not from above but looking at the genitalia horizontally, from between the legs so we get a better look at the botton/knob area to see whether it is a round button or an angular knob set above a a keyhole, with a fleshy pad sealing the vaginal opening.
female slit:
male button and straight slit with testicular swelling around the genitalia
