I don't know if I can add much to Debbie but here goes.

Losing weight is a two way street - dieting/less food/less fatty food on one hand and more quality daily exercise in the other. Just the same as for us humans.

If your Corgi is not eating all her food then it is probably because she is getting too much. However after endless feeding of one type of kibble, the food could become quite a bore to anyone. Cut down to a large handful of Kibble daily and add some other tasty and non fattening food. I always add other food to my Corgis dinner, mainly a slice of an excellent dog chicken roll, a small amount of fresh meat ( cooked unless it is beef steak or beef mince) and a couple of tablespoons of cooked brown rice. But I often add some pieces of veggies that I know he likes - raw if possible apart from potatoes.

I'd go for the bottom of the recommended weight. It is simple for a Corgi to put on weight and less easy to take it off.
