It's not tactless, it's the truth in no uncertain terms, according to the epidemiology of obesity (if you want to argue the merits of this application, fine, but don't argue the numbers).
It's not hurtful, unless she takes the doctor's advice as some sort of value judgement of her and her lifestyle, which would be a clear misrepresentation of his intentions from all indications.
