Feed her a combination of waxworms and super/meal worms or crickets, whatever her staple diet is.
Give her food every night and take it out in the mourning so she always has the option to eat.

If she gets really thin and won’t eat..I suggest repti-aid.
good luck!

if you can id recommend taking a fecal to a vet.. might be a case of parasites.. over bred geckos tend to not have the greatest immune systems and their innards get prone to parasites. other than that.. dust crickets with leopard gecko vitamin dust and leave them in over night.. many afts love hunting after the lights go out.. it wont hurt your gecko to leave the crickets in with them overnight either.. gutloaded crickets are full of nutrients and since theyve been fed wont be tempted to go nibble on the gecko.
