Default 10 weeks and 3 1/2 pounds?!?

Toby is 10 weeks old and weighs 3 1/2 lbs. Is it just me or is that waaaay too much? My dh is always telling me he's too fat, lol. I may be feeding him too much, but I really don't understand the feeding guidelines on his food. I'm feeding him Natural Balance Original Ultra. The instructions say " If weight of dog is 5-15 lbs they get 1/2 to 1 cup a day. For puppies feed up to 2 times per pound of body weight over adult levels" I'm probably feeding around 1 cup per day, plus he gets cheerios for going potty on the pad (prob around 5-10 per day). He poops 5 to 6 times a day. Am I overfeeding? Also, I've been thinking about changing his food anyway because he has started scratching and seems to have dandruff. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!!
