Is my pup chubby?

With a coatie it's hard to tell from photos unless you wet down the fur first. There are plenty of charts all over the internet that show what your dog should look like from above and the side.

It's better to be on the slim side than heavy.

Why do you think it's heavy.
 
I can feel his ribs but I am not sure how much am I supposed to feel them. He has a layer over them but I can still feel them when rubbing him. I will try and post a photo from a better angle
Relax your hand and then use the other hand to rub across the knuckles, this will be close to the feeling you want. Make a tight fist and rub across the knuckles, this is what too lean would feel like.
