Have you thought of a grain-free, even raw diet? High protein, low carb...it can work wonders for overweight pups (personally I hate low-cal diets, they're usually full of grain fillers like corn, all they do is contribute to the problem...I'd much rather feed smaller amounts of high-quality food).
There is the possibility that seasonal allergies are contributing to the itchies, too, our GSD is scratching like a loon these days...
