My cat is chubby and not losing weight. What diet should I use?

Question

My cat is chubby but he doesn't even eat that much? Hi, my huge cat was 16 pounds the last time we weighed him. We were told he was a pound or two overweight, so since then I've been measuring food. I feed him Beyond, 1/3rd cup in the morning, 1/3rd a cup in the evening. My roommate and I play with him every day. Somehow, he's still chubby and leaves massive presents in the litter box. What is going on? Should I feed him even less? If I do, he complains and annoys my poor roommates. Pet's info: Cat | American Wirehair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 10 months old | 16 lbs

I recommend changing his diet to a specialized weight management diet such as hills metabolic so he can feel full and receive all the necessary nutrition to be healthy, whilst still losing and then maintaining weight. Mist vets offices provide free weight clinics to monitor and advise on feeding such diets and maintaining health and fitness
