If she had a heavy worm burden as a lamb, and also maybe fluke, she may never grow normal and put on weight, as her digestive system/guts are too damaged. Not much you can do, and I wouldn't breed from her.

It takes a long time to increase bcs in a healthy ewe (was it 6 weeks for 1/2 a bcs?) so may be nothing to worry over
