Despondent

My sister is such a funny, kind soul, and she's my best friend. When we were younger we used to have that big sister/little sister rivalry, but over the years since childhood we've become so close and we can basically know each other's thoughts with just a look.
With all that love I have for her, of course I just want her to be happy and healthy. And trust me she's happy, she is just a huge ray of sunshine and she has the best smile. But she's so unhealthy.
She has a lot of health problems to begin with but what really concerns me is her terrible diet. She's 24 years old and has the eating habits of a 13 year old boy. She's lactose intolerant but always treats herself to ice cream and cheese and dairy-rich pasta dishes because she "deserves it" and she throws a fit when we don't get her fast food for lunch.
I suppose it would be fine if she exercised but she stays in her room for 90% of the day, only going out to get snacks or whatever. She goes to college twice a week but that's not a lot of pavement pounding and she usually stops by the campus drugstore to buy snacks. She always complains about how she has no energy and how she runs out of breath quickly and how she knows she's overweight but she doesn't care. Her posture is awful and the way she walks is so concerning.
She gets very offended when my mom or when I call her out on this, and she takes it to heart. But it makes me mad because I only have ONE sister and I will only EVER have one sister. I don't want her to die a young death because of a heart attack or something. She's not monstrously obese by any means, not at all. but at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if she is in like 10 years from now.
I love my sister so much. I know that this little rant might have seemed harsh but I just needed it out of my system. Like I said, I only have one sister. If I lose her then I become the only daughter among my family. I have two brothers so they'll still have me but I won't have a sister. I just want her to see how she's damaging her body and that it's not okay.
TLDR: My sister is extremely unhealthy and doesn't want to change. She takes it as a joke and continues to abuse her body with multitudes of junk food. She's not depressed so it's not a coping mechanism, she just doesn't wanna change
