I don’t know what the correct amount of kibble/food for your puppy would be.
However, I can tell you that the amounts recommended on the dog food bags tend to be too much.
I am more familiar with smaller dogs, for example I have a 20 pound adult dog that gets 1/4 cup of quality kibble mixed with about 1/4 cup (or less) of cooked lean meat, chicken, scrambled egg twice a day, maybe a bite of cooked chicken breast mid-day as a snack.
Funny thing though, my 10 pound dog eats almost the same amount.
Both are moderately active and fit.

As puppies I fed them 3 small meals per day till they were about 6-7 months old.
Puppies will overeat if you let them, I don’t free feed. Don’t forget, add a little water to meals. A lot of dogs don’t drink enough water. Frequent bathroom breaks, every 2 hours if possible to aid with housebreaking.
Hope this helps.
