Tiny is one handsome boy! To lose some of the 'fluff'... cut his kibble in half and add fresh steamed green beans or thawed frozen green benas to make up for the kibble reduction. He'll shed them pounds and not be hungray.

Also, what are you currently feeding him .. how much at each meal?

Thanks 2BullyMama!
The vet who works with the rescue sent us home with Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic to help with Tiny's weight loss. After reading all the posts here, I realized that food isn't the best and instead purchased Fromm Gold Coast grain free weight management for him. Right now we are feeding him one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening. That is a little less than the recommended amount per the feeding guide but I also add organic green beans to both meals for bulk (as he just looks at me after each feeding as if to say "that's all?").

I also found the vegas stew recipe suggested in one of the forums and might try that as well. When the rescue first got him, he was over 90lbs and but weighed 80.4 at his vet appointment last week...so that is good news. We are walking every morning for exercise and we can already tell he seems to be moving easier with more energy. It is going to take some time to get him down to a healthier weight but I think we are on the right track. He doesn't seem to suffer from allergies apart from an occasional reddish muzzle...so I am watching that to determine the trigger. Anyway...thanks for the reply and any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated!
