How to get weight off but keep energy level up...??

Hey ridecampers,
I need some advice. My vet has suggested that I get some weight off my
horse ( who has been off work for most of the summer). I 've put him back
to work without increasing his grain or hay (to get the weight off) but now
he doesn't seem to have the energy level that he used to with the "working"
ration.

What adds energy but not weight? Rice Bran, ABC, Dynamite....?

Current daily ration:(not working)
6lbs complete 14% pellet
3lbs plain crimped oat
1/2 cup (1/3lb dry) soaked beet pulp pellet (1/2 gallon soaked volume)
Source and NuFlex
approx 16 lbs grass hay -
(horse tapes at 1100 lbs )

Somebody's got to have done this before.....
thanks
