Am I Underfeeding my overweight dog?

I have a Springer Spaniel sweet big boy that weights about 65 lbs named Winston. His brother, Jackson (not real brother) that is also a springer, weighs closer to 45-50 lbs. My 65 pounder is overweight...you can just look at him and tell + he is SUPER lazy, where as my smaller one is very active. I have cut back on the amount of food I'm giving bigin' but he always seems like he is STARVING. Now, he has always been an eater (could never leave food out for him like we did with the other before we got Winston.) I'm actually feeding him exactly what it says on the bag to feed him. I have always fed more b/c he is so hungry. He is licking the bowls now (his and his brothers) when they are done eating and is always looking for food. Should I start feeding him more like I used to???

TIA
