He is beautiful! From the photos he hasca lovely thick coat so unless you can see bald patches in it it will just be natural shedding. It is amazing how much hair a cat can lose, and you tend to find they moult more when it is warm, especially in the summer. It is nothing to worry about, just annoying for you trying to clean up after him!
