Worried my horse isn't going to lose enough weight over winter

Agreed with the others - up the workload, clip more and rug less.

That's been the plan with my cob, and there's a difference in 3 weeks. He's worked near enough every day (schooling, lunging or hacking, 9 times out of 10 breaking a sweat), now has a high chaser clip, and in regards to rugging, he's either naked or in a no fill daytime (depending on rain) and naked or in a fleece of a night (fleece if it's getting down towards zero).

Lunging is a good idea, and the cold should hit soon!
 
My 24yr old native looks pregnant at the mo so I feel your pain! He's unrugged and just on grass but its just far too mild for him!
He has always been a very good doer, lives on fresh air.
I've got him in at the moment with just a few hours turnout, he won't keep a muzzle on so that's out
