Most package feeding instructions suggest more cups/day than a Corgi needs. I'm not a huge fan of "weight loss" foods, as much as in favor of just feeding less quantity of a good quality regular kibble. I would cut her to 1 - 1 1/4 cups of food per day, and add some green beans to help her feel more full. If you don't have a bathroom scale, get one. You'll want to weigh her every week. If her weight is dropping, then keep at it. If she stays at 36 pounds, cut the food quantity back some more.
Whatever it takes, you need to get her to stop sitting/lieing down on walks, and get her up moving to burn off calories. I know this can be a real challenge. Try enticing her with a squeaky toy, ball, stick (or other favorite toy). Or break her Mother Hubbard cookies into small pieces and only give them to her for walking.
Sorry to hear about her fracturing her teeth! You'll have to make the decision on what to do. At a very young 2 years old, I would try to save her teeth, since most of her years are still ahead of her. I would probably feel differently if she were a senior.
