Older dogs have a reduced ability to use the protein in their diet so it needs to be of the highest quality and they may need more of it just to get the same amount. If she isn’t fat, I wouldn’t reduce her fat level, she may actually need it, just stick with the puppy, I think. Or if you don’t have a dog that needs reduced fat food, mix it with another food, so you are only cutting out a little fat.
