Whose getting more food?
The first owned cat or the 'newest' cat?
Even though they are house pets, there is still a pecking order (even, whom gets fed first) among cats.
Try feeding the 'alpha' (first owned) cat first, regardless of the amount, then the little sibling. I did this with my cats and we've had harmony ever since.

It could have something to do with the fact that becuse there is less food around that they feel that they have to compete for what there is.
I am not a cat dietian and so i would not like to cooment on how much food should be fed when you are trying to get a cat to lose weight. If it were me i would feed the recoomended daily amounnt on the can and would feed the cats sepaerately to ensure that there is no cause for aggression at meal times. Also i would try to encourage the cat who needs to lose weight to do some more activities. get him running around every day.
