Default Why doesnt my baby like to play anymore...is it weight related?

I have 3 small dogs..one Yorkie, a yorkie, poodle mix, and one Maltese...the Maltie is 9, the mix is 7 and the Yorkie is 3. All of them just lay around all day...none of them play anymore. The Maltese never really played alot and she is old so I understand that...the mixed breed actually still has some spunk in her, but my Cinnamon who is the youngest has no energy either. I took she and the mix to the dog park on Saturday...all they did was follow me around, no running or playing. When we first got Cinnamon she loved to play, tug of war, chased balls, etc...now she does nothing. Other than allergies she seems to be in good health...she is overweight though but about 2 lbs....Could this be causing her lethargy? She actually has been like this though for about a year or more and I think she hasnt always been overweight? I have been home feeding them now for about 6 months...could that be it? I dont supplement them but I also give them a high quality kibble in the morning. I miss playing with my dogs...I was so jealous at the dog park, seeing all of the owners running and playing. Is this a Yorkie trait or do you think there might be something wrong or could it be as simple as the weight? Thanks for listening.
