Your goldfish is suffering from a condition called Dropsy. Dropsy is caused by either unfavorable water conditions, a bacteria or a parasite with the latter being the least likely.
It's primary symptoms are bloating and scales sticking out.
As the fish is in a pond with other fish then
the best way to treat this is by isolating the affected fish in a quarantine/hospital tank if possible.
The next thing to do would be to add 1/8 teaspoon of epsom salt per every 5 gallons of water as the epsom salts will help draw out some of the fluid.
Change 50% of the tank water every 3 days so as to provide ideal water conditions and also try and feed some live and/or frozen foods as they are nutritionally superior to flake foods and thus will aid the fish in recuperating.
Do the water changes and epsom salt treatment for 6 days and if no improvement is seen then begin treating with a medicine called Maracyn which is an excellent anti-bacterial medication, see link below.
Please keep in mind that curing Dropsy is not easy and is an uphill battle especially if caught late.
