Maybe it will all balance out when he starts to go on daily walks? His vet said that his next round of shots should allow him to go outside pretty regularly.
A round tummy is good on a puppy. From my understanding they really can't get fat until they are over 8 months old, it takes so many calories just to grow larger. I do think it's a good idea to talk to your vet about this, and hopefully he has experience with small breeds, because they do have special needs.
