He is quite skinny, not dangerously so but you deffinitely want to offer him more food. Take a stool sample to a vet if you havent' done so recently to make sure he has no parasites. A high parasite count can account for a dragon not putting on much weight even if eating alot of food.
How big of a salad do you offer and how much of it does he eat? How many crickets does he eat? Do you offer crickets or other insects daily, or only a few times a week? (a few times a week for adult dragons is fine normally, but it also depends on how much he is eating).
I would recommend not breeding him to the female you have till he has his weight up. Often male dragons won't eat much while mating, and since he has very very little fat reserves, the vigors of mating could push him back health wise.
