Well the trick with senior pets over 7 years of age is to simply get them on a senior pet food. Most high quality brands such as Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, Evo or Eukanuba carry senior diets that are lower in fat content and higher in fiber along with essential vitamins and minerals needed for older pets. Also fatty lumps "lipomas" are not necessarily a result of fatty foods. Fatty tumors are a direct result of old age and changing the diet won't necessarily decrease the occurrence of these. However, having your pet on a senior diet is still recommended for their overall health and well-being.
