How can I increase my strength? It seems like my fighter, with all of her armor, can't carry much more than what she is wearing. I think her strength is at 15 and she can only carry 120 lbs. How do you increase ability scores?

You can't, really, the idea is that when you roll the dice for a character, you try to get the best scores in the stats that are important for that class. For example, for a fighter you would want a high strength and also good constitution and dexterity, whereas intelligence and wisdom would be much less important.
However, there is a way around your problem, as there are some strength enhancing items in the game:

The girdles of Frost, Hill and Stone Giant Strength (found at a storekeep in Trademeet after the completion of the quest, in the Adventurers Mart and in the Underdark) There is also a Mace +2 called the Maulers Arm (I think it's in the Copper Coronet) which raises your strength to 18. I suggest that you quickly find on of these items as strength is very important for a warrior. The weigth carrying problem could be solved with a bag of holding: you can put tons of heavy armour in it and it will still weigh a fixed amount of lbs
