what to feed a 12 week old rabbit

So i just recently got my first pet bunny from a rabbit breeder, he's a mini lop and the woman told me to feed him unlimited pellets until he's 12 weeks so i've been doing that but now that he's 12 weeks i have no idea what to feed him and how often. I've been told to introduce veggies at this age and he's quite familiar with some anyways because he's been taken out to the garden a few times and he nibbles on the plants but ideally i'd like exact amounts of how much pellets to feed and how much veggies. He needs to cut down on the pellets anyways because he seems to eat that more than hay which cause him to make too many cecotropes. Also i've been told to feed something like 200grams per 4lbs of the rabbits weight (not accurate just an example since i can't remember the actual about) but he's only about 820 grams (i used a normal scale but he was too light so i resulted to a cooking one) so that calculation doesn't really work
