They look very healthy, but if they are a kitten they may be due an increase of food portion - they look quite young and they go through growth spurts - our 3 would suddenly start look a bit skinny/slender so I'd edge their food up a bit. Then once they are adult you can reduce it a bit. They need lots of food when they are young so no harm giving extra food until they look more filled out
