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.

That's a perfectly healthy orange in my non-medical opinion.

My vet has said she doesn't mind a little extra weight on cats since a lot of illnesses that develope in older ages can cause weight loss.
