I dislike math myself, but did you try this formula:
Shell length (Straight-line Carapace Length) in centimeters, cubed, times 0.191 gives you the recommended minimum weight in grams.

6" is 15.24cm (roughly- a more accurate measurement helps the math be more accurate.)
15.24^3 x 0.191 = 674 grams, so your guys is over that lower limit.

overweight?
That is hard to say. If it can pull in completely, then there is not a lot of adipose tissue. However, overfed tortoises add a lot of width and height to their shells, and I have not yet found any kind of formula that helps determine this part.
