When I clicked on the link, I realized I was already following you on instagram and that I have seen these pics already

Most likely:
Heterometrus petersii (granulation on prosoma)
Female (males tend not to get that fat)
possibly pregnant! If you've had it less than 6-7 months, even more likely

That's great. Thank you. I actually just picked it up yesterday because I thought it was pregnant.

H. petersii for sure

Same as mine, good luck!
Here's a picture of my gravid female 2 days before babies were born for reference.
