I would say try giving her small servings threw out the day. Not all at once. If your not home during the day. Try giving her a small meal when you get up. Another right before you leave. And then a small when you get home and right before bed.
I would go with not more then 3/4 of a cup to a cup of food a day. The bag or can tells you how much to feed.
Also, it's hard to say how much over weight your cat is with out actually seeing her. We have a cat that is 13 pounds. Yet she is tiny not over weight at all. Her brother is over weight he is 18 pounds. So it depends on the bone structure of the cat and size of the cat.
