Don't tell me, he won't stay still long enough ...lol
Still really difficult to be absolute about these photos,
but as someone else said on the other thred, you
can do with a bit of 'puppy fat' on the very young. He
looks to have lost that already - how many weeks is he
now ? If you feel he's on the thin side - he certainly
is not emaciated !
- then up his meals a bit, maybe
give him a 4th feed for another week or so. But I don't
know that I would be doing that, if he was mine and
looked as he appears to look and probably feel.

He looks good and plump for a 3 month old.
Just to ask nicely -- you do know that GSD's are supposed to be on the thin side right? As long as he is putting on weight within the standards he is getting the nutrition he needs. And to be honest messing around with his food a lot at this early age is going to do nothing but screw him up.
Making them fat does nothing good for them at all. Honestly I like to be able to see that last back rib when they are running and turning right but be able to easily feel and never see the others.
Being well fed, exercised and lean is what makes them happy. Consistency is key. Make a daily feeding plan and stick to it. Adjust for growth every couple of weeks.
