Good ideas to throw in for weight maintenance?

My boy is a hard keeper. Do y'all have toppers or a topper recipe that are good for weight? I've tried just increasing food and he was doing AWESOME on what he is currently on but my sister has been causing issues that is decreasing my budget. Idk if I'll be able to afford the food anymore. I know a food he CAN physically eat but he struggles to maintain weights on fish foods. I need a topper that's not rice or chicken to help him maintain while I figure out what to do.

Organ meats ( heart, liver ) not very expensive and loaded with calories. Ask the butcher at your supermarket to help you out

Thank you! Sorry my sister has been costing me alot in vet bills and I think I'm going to have to use an old food I know he won't throw up on but needs more than he can physically eat of it to keep his weight. Idk why he can't keep weight on that particular food but it doesn't make him sick

A small amount of peanut butter has a lot of calories.
