If he is 6 months for sure and hasn't lost any baby teeth yet that is weird. Are you SURE?? If he hasn't yet and the age is a rough guess he is probably about to start and their breath will smell different when that happens sometimes.

He was born on 24th of march 2019 well around 5 months and 5days to be exact lol
And He used to have no smell just recently. Im not sure if its because the wet food or He got some infection hmm.His desexing appointment will be next saturday.

Kittens get that nasty kitten breath when teething so I am sure that's all it is. Wet food shouldn't be affecting anything. You could always as them to check out his mouth/teeth when he is under for his neuter.

It's not a bad idea to start brushing your cat's teeth now to keep them healthy. Use only pet toothpaste. Most pet stores sell dental kits.
