He may be "just right", if you look at different pictures, some yorkies have very small petite looking frame; others seem to have a sturdier looking frame. I don't think it has anything to do with the sex, just genetics. I love the cobby body style, and they can hold much more weight, but still look small. Your description of the neck area, makes me think this is the case.
I read something about, if the tummy was really puffy and round, it could indicate worms, but I can't remember the details, and I think most pups, are like toddlers, and have rounded tummies. Remember, if the vet says that he's not overweight, he's not overweight. They tend to be pretty strict in this area.
