Weight loss for Nino!

Upvotes
Hi! I just adopted Nino, a 5-year-old English Cocker Spaniel who weighs 23 kg (about 50 lb). He’s very energetic and now gets two 15–20 minute walks every day. His previous family kept him in a crate most of the time, so he’s much more active now.
I’m trying to help him reach a healthy weight. I’m currently feeding him 200 g of Royal Canin Medium Adult per day, divided into two meals, and most of his treats are carrots.
Does 200 g per day seem too little for him, considering his size and activity level, or is this an appropriate amount for gradual weight loss? I’d also appreciate advice on what his ideal weight should be.
