We brought him home on the 5th Jan, I didn’t ask how old he was so I guess around 6 weeks and we’ve had him 4 months so between 5.5 and 6 mths old.

I wouldn't listen to what the internet has to say about Syrians weight. They want all of us to be skinny, hamsters and humans.
It's always better for hamsters to be on the heavier side and to have some reserves because hamsters can lose weight very quickly when unwell.
