It sounds like a painful situation for you and her. It's hard to be overweight, and not to have one's affections returned. It's also hard to have a child who struggles and is hurting and not to be able to make it better.
All you can do, really, is love her and give her as much support, and respect, and help-- as you can-- but also accept that she may be overweight, she may have disappointments in love-- perhaps more than some people, but everyone does have them, and they are hard to get over, but it happens, in time--
It may be hard for her to come to terms with limitations, but if you stick with her, and believe in her, she'll do it-- in her own way. You'll see what that is, but your love and respect, and acceptance will be so important.
She'll find her way.
