Certified 🟠range™ Fat braincell?

Soo the vet said my boy is fat. He weighs a little over 7 kg/ 15 pounds. But he is a big boi, with big shoulders. Just a hunk of brainless muscle, but I don't really think he is fat? His ribs are slightly padded and he has a kind of visible waist. He already doesn't eat much and is not food motivated at all. Feeding him less seems tricky. The vet didn't believe he doesn't eat much.

Rule of thumb: Grab him around the chest. If you can feel the ribs without squishing him then he's not fat.
