I don't see any indications from the pictures he is overweight at all. In act he may be a bit underweight, as the fat pads on his head, just behind the eyes look a little concave and his tail base is not very plump.

Bearded dragons can grow as big as 24" especially those who have alot of German Giant blood in them. At his age I would continue to feed insects once a day with salad every day. Once he reaches a year old then you can cut down to insects a couple times a week or just a couple daily (about 10-20% of his daily intake). At 6 months, 50/50 insects/greens is perfect.
