I would have to agree with the vets. There is absolutely zero reason for your pet to be overweight (medical reasons not included). It's not like they can just go eat whenever they want.

Sometimes they can just go out and eat whenever they want if they know how to finesse the neighbors for food.

I’m pretty sure a vet would also not recommend letting your cat go outside unattended. I have yet to meet a vet that thinks outdoor cats are acceptable.

Vet here (with an indoor/outdoor cat). Acceptable and the norm in many European countries. Not so much in the US, from what I understand.
