Iv noticed that after 1st getting a few female betta to start a sorority tank the two bigger ones look bloated. Not sure if its dropsy or they’re filled with eggs or food. From the top they dont look pine-coned and I Treated them with paraguard, general cure and maracyn for one week. They looked fine so I transferred them over. But every day they seem a little bigger and bigger. There is one male betta in the tank. Sorry for the bad photos. I tried my best to get good photos. My acrylic tank kind of warps the picture and the other one moves alot.

She looks either really constipated or really eggy. I would try fasting and then feeding daphnia (it helps move stuff along). If that doesn't work she could be egg-bound. I have no experience with that but there's a lot of betta keepers on this forum who may be able to help out.

Because there's no pine coning I don't think it's dropsy.
