He looks quite long, but certainly not overweight, so just keep doing what you're doing!

When he's about to go into shed, his eyes and the dark markings on his belly will go cloudy blue, and he will go off his food and probably not want to be handled. The cloudiness stays for a few days, then clears up, and after another few days, eh will shed. It's difficult to be precise about the timings because it can vary, but it generally takes 7-10 days from start to finish.
