No yorkie could be At a perfect weight as 4 and 6 pounds. If my 6 pound girl was 4 pounds she would look sickeningly skinny! At 5.8 she starts to look emaciated. Feed to conditioning. What is more important than trying to predict adult weight is learning about body condition score and what is healthy.

Puppies are almost never overweight. At 13 weeks you should be feeding at least 3 times a dayAnd 4lb vs 6lb is 1/3 extra weight. If outting that in human perspective that is like a 150lb person being 100lb. This is not ok. I'm sure your intent is to keep this dog healthy so ignore the weight and feed to condition.

Uust bc yorkies are small does not mean they have to be carried everywhere. Harness and leash, then size won't matter...

ETA: Looks like my dog is bigger than the chart prediction, but she is not and never has been fat.
