Overweight male

I have a 12 month male that's 716 grams (just weighted) He's 22 inches and I'm trying to put him on a diet.
I've cut back on the feeders only offering 2-3 twice a week. Veggies the other days but now he's stopped eating
the veggies, only picking at them. Besides the fact that he's fat, he's still very active.

All my lighting is correct, 12 hours of sleep, poops regular, just enjoys eating. He's always been a big boy. The breeder saw him
and said he's bigger then his parents who were 600+.

My thoughts are to feed him the veggies and if he doesn't eat them all eventually when he gets hungry he'll
eat them all.

Any have a good diet for fatties. Here's a picture today.

Thanks
