Default Having to hand feed and weight issue

I posted back in January in the sick and emergency forum and luckily Teddy is back to being healthy again. The only problem is that he's been looking quite skinny lately and since our issues with food last time, I've been very careful and feeding him only kibbles with ocassional treat and some veggies. So I would really appreciate if you could advise some food that will help him put on some weight.

Also he's always been a picky eater, so ever since Jan we've been hand feeding him and somehow it became "normal". He won't eat a bite unless we hand feed him (sometimes we even have to trick him into eating, like giving him treats, playing with him etc). I don't really mind doing so, but we will be going on holiday next week and while we plan to leave him with our friends, who take great care of him, I am just not really sure I can ask them to handfeed him all the time like this. What should we do so he can eat normally?

I've attached a picture a recent picture of Teddy. Does he looks skinny? Or is it normal?
