It’s not about finding the right food. Move more, eat less, that is how people and animals can lose weight.
Do you have health insurance for your dog? I ask because I think from the information you have provided that your dog might benefit from aquatic therapy (swimming). If your vet prescribes it for weight loss it may be covered.
One minute of swimming is equal to four minutes of running.

Dogs get bored, you have to find an activity that they are passionate about. Try different things.

Consider consulting an Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist.

PS: Has the vet ruled out medical causes for the weight gain/slow metabolism? Senior workup? I would start there.
