Do you have a picture of her set up? What are her temps and how are you measuring them? Does she get calcium/vitamin dusted live food? What about veggies and greens?

Here are some good links to help you out:

That's her setup and her temp during the day is at 95 to 105... I got electric thermometer and at night around 90... She eats veggies a lot and I always powder her crickets

Please take some time to look at the links I provided. They provide really important information on setting up your tank. First of all you need a basking area 6-10 inches away from the lights. You need a bulb to provide the proper heat gradient as well as a UVB. For a juvenile dragon their basking temp should be 110-115, the cool side of the tank 80-85. You'll want to attach the digital thermometer directly to the basking area to make sure it is reaching the proper temp. It's better to have some sort of white basking light to provide heat that mimics daylight. There is no need for a red night light, if you are using it at night for heat you should just get a CHE light, the red light could disrupt their sleep cycle.. The temp in their whole tank at night should be between 75-80 degrees.

Sand is only safe to use if it is children's washed play sand. Not sure what you are using, but the sand specially made for beardies with calcium is not good. If ingested it could cause impaction. Also sand is really only safe to use when your beardie is 15 inches or longer.

I used to have one of those vines in my tank, my girl loved it. You can probably readjust it to help get her closer to the lights. It's good that she's eating so well. I think just a few tweaks and she'll start growing a little more!
