There's a few possibilities here.

[*]If you accidentally told her to wait somewhere and then left her there, she should re-appear back at your house after 3 days. You will get a message saying this when she returns.

[*]If she is dead, you can check the "Hall of the Dead" in Whiterun to see if her corpse is there.

[*]Fast traveling to different cities or locations should make followers re-appear with you.

If none of those work, try getting another follower. If someone else will join you, the game doesn't even recognize that she's supposed to be with you. Otherwise, post back here and let us know if it still says she's "with" you. If none of the above work, you may have to end up reloading a previous save if Lydia's important to you. I wouldn't worry about it too much personally, as there are many other companions you can have that are at least as good as Lydia.
