My guess was always that she was an active Force user, but since she didn’t spend a lot of time around other Force users, she learned to use her power defensively (being taught to hide from enemies as a child).
So she developed a natural “cloaking” effect, which she cultivated over time, and used to keep hiding from people (her father, the Empire) during her various escapades, so by the time she met Vader all her skill points were dumped into Hide in Plain Sight.
…and since why would Vader bother taking a second look at the Force presence of a random Senator’s daughter…
She was his daughter, and based on Lukes feats and Yodas yammering, she is also insanely powerful. It is fully possible her raw force powers, instinctively honed into an “you ain’t seeing shit” effect over her entire life, are strong enough to bluff him.
The real cause is that she wasent his daughter at this point in the movies, because luke and leia weren’t related in the first one. George “i want han solo to be a lizard man” lucas leaned in and made it “weird” after the fact.
