She's a rescue kitty, 1year old and spent most of her time outside - before coming to me a few months ago. Her tummy is definitely bigger, but I'm not sure if she just likes her food (like me)? She doesn't like me touching her tummy, not overly friendly. But very adorable. She's not nesting or anything. I'd just love to know without putting her through the stress of another vet visit. Any help/tips would be wonderful!

So if she is preg she got preg at your place?  Is she allowed to go out, or do you think she sneaked out sometime?

The theat is whitish, normally they should be more rosy if pregnant - although this is not totally ironclad.

I though, she could have a litter or two before if she was freshy taken.  But if she was with you several months...

My advice for now is you visit the vet.  If she is pregnant you prepare, inclusive proper deworming.

And if she is not, you do spay her.

Use wet canned food, both because its good nourishment, and also, its a good way to slow, controlled,  lowering of excessive weight.

Good luck!

Thank you StefanZ  for your reply.

Yes, she has snuck out a couple of times since being with me. She has never had a litter, so far. I feed her a mix of wet canned food, dry food and fresh meat, twice a day. I've dewormed her and given her a flee treatment, when she first arrived. She is healthy and happy. Just wish I knew if she is pregnant or not. :D
