It doesn't completely work that way, just like for humans. Sometimes feeding pets less is just subjecting them to pretty severe discomfort and hunger, while their metabolism is deciding that food is scarce so they better hoard every calorie they can spare. I know it's significantly urgent to help them lose weight because of the health impacts, but IDK that it is super simple once you've decided to try to make it happen.
