A gamma-ray excess from the Galactic center consistent with line emission around 130 GeV was recently found in the Fermi-LAT data. Although the Fermi-LAT Collaboration has not confirmed its significance, such a signal would be a clear signature of dark matter annihilation. Until now, there have been many attempts to explain the excess by dark matter. However, these efforts tend to give too-small cross sections into photons if consistency with the correct thermal relic density of dark matter is required. In this Letter, we consider a simple Yukawa interaction that can be compatible with both aspects and show which parameters are favored.
