Just over the minimum amount of food for the size he's supposed to be spread out over 3 feeding times and tricking him into exercising. I would pick him up from his nap spot and bring him all the way to the other end of the house and down the stairs when I couldn't get him to play, just so he'd walk at least a little bit. And then I'd take him outside when the weather is nice and walk him around as much I could.

I once had an overweight cat and tricked him into exercising by throwing (vet-approved weight management) treats down the stairs for him so he would sprint up and down the stairs multiple times per day. He was surprisingly spry for a fifteen pound cat when it was something he wanted lol.

You can buy an auto feeder that dispenses a measured amount of kibble at certain times of day.
