Small breed dogs should be fed puppy food until about 10months of age or once they are neutered, whichever comes sooner. If she is doing well on this brand then converting slowly to the adult range over 7-10days at the appropriate time would be recommended. IT is impossible to assess her target weight - this is a reflection of muscle mass, fat layers and natural frame and size - this is referred to as an overall body condition score and there are many guides online as to how to assess this and most vet clinics offer free weight assessments
