I'd have to see an aerial shot of her from above to see her waistline (preferably while wet, maybe in the bath, to really tell) to see if she looks overweight or not. But I personally prefer to see a leaner dog vs. a heavier one. Jackson is a bit heavier than I like right now (but by most peoples standards would still be okay). Fwiw, he's 19lbs (I like him better at 17lbs), and he eats 1/2 cup per day of kibble (also some wet in each meal). So for a smaller dog, that may be too much food.
You could try a low fat food just to help you along, something like Wellness Core Reduced Fat maybe? And up exercise of course.
These pix are from when Jackson is in his best shape.
