Can't really add anything to yesterdays post other than why not just wait and see what a fortnight or so brings before worrying about the weight?

Add lib hay is by far the best source of fibre if you are very worried. However, a most section D's are very good doers so don't think you need to panic unduly.

It really depends on the horse.

My horse, who is a poor doer very fizzy, but gets turned out every days is on ad lib haylage and Alfa A Oil (this suits him althought I hear some horses react to it. My friends does but uses D&H Alfalfa successfully with no problems.) He doesn't get much Alfa A Oil a day, it's more to put his supplements in, it's the good quality haylage which really helps.
