You haven't mentioned his weight and height.From that I would have come to know whether he is OK according to his age.Many children of this age are fussy eaters.You shouldn't be always after them to eat.Don't give his junk food.Give food at fixed timings only.Make him eat at fixed place only.Don't allow him to eat in front of TV.Encourage him to eat on his own.You can give pediasure 2 spoons in a glass of milk twice a day to increase his weight and immunity.
But if his growth is not proper as per age then he should be investigated to find cause of it
