My ghontu is 4 months old and weighs about 40 lbs. Is she overweight? What is the normal weight for pups at this age?

For a golden retriever of four months, they are typically between 30-40 pounds in weight. She is not overweight, some dogs are simply bigger in stature than other dogs, which is why there is a range of weights. I would not be concerned that Ghontu is overweight :-)
