If your cat is overweight the best thing you can do for them is to make a diet change. Changinging a cats behavior is hard… and it’s the food making them fat.
Cats are all different, just like humans and other animals.
A large built big boned cat will weigh more than a small boned petite cat. I have big and tall built cats that are a muscular and healthy 19 pounds… and on the other end of the scale I have a teeny tiny boned cat who weighs in at a meer 7 pounds yet she is at a healthy weight as well. Based on their individual body structures I could never compare them. It’s best to assess your cats weight by it’s body condition and not compared to other cats.
Here’s a chart to help you do that…

Once you determine if your cat is overweight, you need to be aware that there is NO such thing as dry “diet” food for cats. Dry foods are filled with carbs that make your cat fat. You can’t make a dry food without carbs, so there are no dry diet foods.
The proper amount to feed per cat/per day should be about 5.5 ounces of wet (high quality grain free canned or Raw Meat/Bones/Organ) food.
The calories in that amount of food are sufficient for most “normal” sized cats. Of course a highly energetic cat will need more food to keep it healthy, and a lazy cat will need less food to keep it from getting obese. But 5.5 ounces of wet food per day is a good place to start.

How old is your cat? Older cats do need a bit more sleep than younger ones.
Is this is new behavior ? You might want to check with your vet if this is something new for your cat.
(Cats do spend a lot of time sleeping.)
Extra weight on felines is not a good thing though, so a trip to the vet for a general check-up may not be a bad idea.

You may even consider taking him to the vet to be checked for hypothyroidism. This condition slows down the metabolic system and some symptoms include weight gain and lethargy which could explain your cat’s behavior.
