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.

Our little kitten just loves Turkey skins! Wow...
We had a fall dinner for Halloween... Turkey thighs made in a dutch oven... he really went for the skins. (I don't season them, so the cats can have them). Just a little broth to steam them in. Basically I think low fat diets make them have dry skin. The shrimp really fixed Sheba and she expected them every day too! I've been giving Tuna in canola oil for Oreo occasionally now because of her high dose steroids which make her very hungry, and it has been very good for her coat! I thought the oil would help her eliminate, The Vet remarked on this Monday. I add supplemental taurine to it because cats need this amino acid critically. We are now approaching the first estimate of 2mo longevity with her cancer. Looks like she will easily pass this milestone.
