Default Yorkie weight

OK - so how do I know if my babie is overweight? When I look at him I am not sure. Is there any rule of thumb for height or length as to what his weight should be? Or is there a place i can feel him to see if he is getting overweight.

Pixel is a rescue, I do notice that when he is feeling happy or nervous he runs to his food and eats. I have tried not leaving his food down all the time and only feeding for breakfast and dinner but he showed signs of puppy hypoglecemia and was larthagic, dizzy etc. So l leave his food down, don't notice him eating all that much, and he is quite active. Still I think he may be larger than he should be.

Help!
