Brief Answer:
Weight is slightly less, but height is just normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi.....I have calculated the weight and height of your kid comparing with growth charts.

Any value on growth charts between 5th to 95th centile is normal.

Your kid's weight ls less than 5th centile and height is at 5th centile.

If she has attained all her developmental milestones normally, then you need not worry.

Just improvement in her diet will do.
