to say a dog that weighs 145-150 is automatically fat in incorrect
Of course. "Fat" and "weight" aren't necessarily related to each other (this relates directly to the "Body Mass Index" idiocy in humans, according to which many fit, very muscular athletes are considered "obese", because it's based solely on height and weight) the only indicator of whether an animal is overweight or not is by looking at it and feeling it, if you can't feel the ribs, the dog is overweight, regardless of how much it weighs.
