This chart will help you determine if Niko is overweight. If you are still not sure then you should have him to your vet for an exam. ( https://thelabradorforum.com/threads/ideal-dog-weight-chart.22542/ ) Him not eating well could be due to stress from the move but it could also mean that he is not feeling well. Not eating well is a very non-specific symptom. If he is not eating due to stress from the move he should get over it fairly quickly (within a few days to maybe a week). If it has been going on longer than that (or if he is otherwise sick like vomiting or diarrhea) then he should be examined by your vet.
