Normal growth rate?

So I got Lilith at the end of May at 10 months old. The breeder hadn't been feeding her the correct size prey (never sized up from multi hoppers), and she was really skinny. She was around 50cm long and weighed less than 90g. I've been feeding her 10-15% of her body weight once a week since getting her. Luckily she's a very enthusiastic eater, so she's never missed a meal (even eats in between being in blue and shedding). She's grown a lot and put on loads of weight. She's just over a year old now (birthday was end of July). She's now up to 241g and around 60cm long.

So my question is, should I continue with feeding weekly for a while longer since she was so malnourished when I got her and she's still a fair bit smaller than she should be for her age? And if so for how long? Or should I be reducing her meals since she's over a year old now? She isn't looking overweight as far as I can tell.

I put her in her playpen 2 or 3 times a week for exercise (let her zoom around until she gets tired and finds somewhere to curl up). And she's pretty active most nights, loves climbing. So she's pretty well toned.

First pic is a couple of weeks ago, second just before her birthday, and the last two from when she arrived home looking tiny and skinny (pics don't show it well but her belly was concave)
