The child at this age requires approximately 1000-1050 kcal/day. This will help in both growth and development of body including her brain growth.
Next Steps
Your list of food items are very good. Sometimes metabolism of the child and activity also is one thing. Don't worry about the weight for now. It is well within the normal range.
Health Tips
If the child is still not accepting feeds and meals according to your expectation, take consultation.
