Hi,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. TIFFA or targeted imaging for fetal anomalies is an anomaly scan. There is no need to go for another anomaly scan since it has already been performed. Weight of the fetus depends on several factors like genetic status, race, maternal nutritional status, impact of environment etc. If you can provide fetal measurements, I will be able to say if there is any abnormal growth. As of now, the weight of the baby is within normal international limits. Hope this helps.
