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 very healthy too. Based on their individual body structure 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…

If your cat can no longer clean it’’s behind, it’s likely the cat is overweight and needs some help. Was the area daily with a warm wet washcloth.
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.

It depends on the age of your cat. Ask your vet the next time your cat gets a check-up what the right weight is for her.
