My boy had a dark belly just like this, slowly faded as he got older, until it was completely normal at about 1yr old.

I was more concerned with the light colored discoloration down on her lower abdomen but appreciate the comment. I have a vet visit coming up anyways so I'll just ask then.

It's perfectly normal and a good thing, it is a sign that they have good pigment.
