I would try to increase protein, so she eats less kibble.

You can do the shrimp...I think it is high in taurine too, which cats need. I thaw them in warm water, before giving..since I use the frozen. And I've been known to have one myself! LOL

Or chicken that is freshly prepared without seasoning, or turkey.
When she gets more concentrated protein, she will eat less kibble and she may lose weight like Sheba did.

Once you move off commercial cat food some, you'll need to add some taurine to her subsititutes. This is very inexpensive. About 250mg a meal 3 times a week. Jarrow taurine for humans is very inexpensive 1000mg/cap. Has no taste that they refuse either.

Indoor cats who don't go outside tend to eat more. That is just the way life is.
