He's fine.

The 'double chin' is just loose skin hanging from his jaw. My female has that too. He doesn't look overweight either though the picture angle does make it more difficult to tell.

An actually weight would be better. Pictures of him from above while he is basking, and a full side on showing the tail base will be nice too.

I suggest feed him as you have been doing normally. Being under 6 months old he has plenty of growing to do before dragons naturally stop growing. A well fed and proper husbandry kept dragon can grow very fast. They usually only start slowing down in growth around 12 months of age to 14 months.
