Unless the human parents take the necessary steps, a fat Corgi is just like a fat human baby - they don't change when they get older and will both end up overweight. Human babies and Corgi pups should also be the same - they both should be slightly chubby until they get out of their baby/puppy stages.

'Wet' chicken and brown rice (both cooked and without salt) are excellent food for dogs - and my Taylor almost always gets these as part of his daily dinner. And he far prefers these things to dry food (kibble). If you are concerned about Koda's weight, feed him with raw lean beef or lamb and cut right down on the dry food. If you take all the food elements I have suggested, that is what Taylor gets on most days - and he has a 'generous' length and weighs in at 12.9kg ( 28-29lbs) as a three year old. But of cousre the amount and quality of exercising your Corgi is all part of the equation.
I believe in giving pups up to nine months old at least three meals a day with a breakfast cereal type meal and the dinner divided into two portions to be given as lunch and dinner.
