Bearded Dragon Egg

Thank you to anybody who reads this and gives suggestions and advice!!!
I recently took my girl to the vets for a general checkup and the vet stated that Kilgharrah was the biggest bearded dragon she'd ever seen.
We'd never thought Kil to be overly big, but we've never seen another adult in person so we've never had anything to compare her too.
She is roughly 52 cm (20.47 inches) and last time she was weighed she was 760 grams!
I've read up online that weight varies depending on the beardie, but roughly majority are around 300-400?
The vet said she was a little overweight, but not grossly.
We had another vet check her out, just incase and her opinion was that Kilgharrah needed to lose weight?
I know it'll probably be hard to judge simply through photos, but how much weight should we try and get her to lose?
Any strategies to help her lose weight?
We've limited her insects and will start letting her have swims in the bathtub (we'll put something in her for her to climb onto). She's let out into the house daily and will often run around.
Thanks for any responses and suggestions
