Population is predicted to reach a peak and then start declining according to all the modelling I have seen so overpopulation is not a problem without a solution.
And the vast majority of that population is not consuming most of the energy. India's per capita consumption is less than one tenth of that of the US [1]. Even though they have three times the population they still consume less than one third of what the US does.
