My Labs come eating a half cup each of 3 times a day. Likely the people doing that have more interest in their health than the people putting recommendations on bags. I do hope you are sticking to the breeder's food. There is no good reason to switch and it often leads to problems.
You should be feeding a puppy chow now. Switching to an adult chow for the larger breeds at 4 months, slows growth and helps develop sturdier joints.
Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs.
