I can see why you are fearful of him changing. The mellowing out, I think comes with age. It could have been coincidence, it could have been the spay. I know this is a personal choice, please don't think I'm trying to convince you one way or the other. I know Kaji put on another lb after the neuter, but the vet told me he would. She said he was done growing (length and height wise), but he would fill out until he was a year and a half. So, by 18 months he went from 6 lbs exactly to 7 lbs. I didn't do anything different either. I continued to feed him the exact same portion size until we moved out of our condo in Dec. He never budged from the 7 lb mark. Now... here were we live now his activity level went down to 0 compared to before. So now I'm measuring his food and he gives me those sad eyes too. I can't let him gain anymore weight because of his LPs.
