when feeding a completely raw diet, we go by about 2-3% of adult body weight per day. so for an 11kg dog that should really weigh about 10kg, 2%-3% of 10kg = 200-300g per day raw food weight. So as you say he needs to lose weight you could start towards the lower end of this weight range and see how you go.

I currently feed my dog the top end of this, but thats because she is still just under 1 year, but I will be lowering it slightly once she reaches 12 months.
