It's clearly a Transform Magic effect with a Subject Weight (the pig was chosen to match her weight) and Duration, but what other modifiers do I need?

I'm hoping it could be done simply, like this:

Greater Transform Magic [8] + Subject Weight, 300 lbs. [3] + Duration, 2 weeks [10] = 21x3 = Cost 63 energy.
That's exactly what you'd do. You're just transferring her "aura" to the pig. If you swapped them you'd need another Transform effect.
