This week she turned 7 months, great drive, very energetic, completed obedience class last week...however, at 7 months she is only 44 pounds, accoring to most charts that is underweight...Could she just be on a smaller side? here are photos.

I can see most of her ribs and her belly is about 1 inch higher then her side skin between her hind leg and side...i am starting to get concerned, but her energy is not lacking...

It's easy to keep track of her...Weigh her every week or month and keep a chart on her...

She also holds from going to the bathroom till she is out of the kennel even though its 40 x 40 (in 2 sections with huge 2 doored house) she will go only after i come home and let her out...i am sure it's not good for her, its great for me i dont have to clean it, but i went as far as placing her poop in a corner to encourage usage but w/o a change...
I guess vet is the next step.....would having her fixed at this age help?

I don't think her breakfast is enough calories--that's about 400-500 calories, which is only about 1.5 cups of dog food. You don't say how much you feed her at night. Take a look at this calorie calculator for dogs, estimate how many calories she's getting per day, and make sure you're feeding her enough calories to grow and build muscle:
