It does depend on the body weight but not that its "already a good body weight", to maintain good health they will need the correct amount of fat.
You've kind of proved my point though - you dont actually know for certain how much your hamster needs and by regulating it you may not be providing enough. I have no idea how much is enough so I dont take anything out at all as I dont want to risk an unbalanced diet.
Not critising or anything
Just pointing out a potential problem
