Dry food recommendations

I took my cat to the vet recently she was having a skin issue, allergic dermatitis and she got an allergy shot for it. The vet also recommended to me to put her on a diet I wasn’t closely monitoring how much food I was feeding her because I have 2 other cats that eat relatively the same amount of food she does and they’re around 9lbs. They eat Purina One sensitive skin and stomach and the vet recommended I cut out the wet food I give them occasionally and that she likes that dry food but said I should switch proteins. She weighs 14lbs and I’m focusing on getting her down to 9lbs and feed her 1/3 cup daily and portion it out.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for dry food? I like keeping them on the food they currently eat because they seem to digest that better and aren’t picky with it.

Any weight loss advice too is also appreciated! This is the first time I’ve had a cat and the vet be concerned with her weight 😅

Potential skin issue

I noticed probably about a week ago my cat had a dry spot on her side but her fur wasn’t coming out like it is now, she typically has dry skin on her back mostly towards the base of her tail and I brush her frequently to try and help with that. But today I was petting her and her fur was coming out in small pieces with scabs and skin flakes there’s several other spots but one looked irritated like it was itchy. I’m not sure if she could have ringworm but she’s strictly indoor and my other two cats are fine they are also indoor only she’s the only one with these dry patches. She does have a vet appointment scheduled so there’s that.
