Anterior placenta can reduce movement perception. At 25 weeks baby movements may still be irregular. May start to become regular by 26-28 weeks.
Health Tips
Try lying on your left side and focus on baby movements after your meals. If no baby movements in 12 hours, pain abdomen, pv bleed/leak - then, consult Gynaecologist immediately.

Hi as your anomaly scan is normal you don't have to worry probably in 1 to 2 weeks you will be able to make out the movements of the baby and as you have ant placenta you would perceive lesser movements

Fetal movement are light and perception may be less due to anterior placenta. With time as baby grows you should be able to appreciate fetal kicks or hiccups.
Most of the weight gain occurs during 2nd half of pregnancy. And as long as the baby growth is fine, your weight gain is fine.
Next Steps
Maintain healthy balanced diet with higher protein intake

If the ultrasound is normal nothing much to worry
In case where placenta is anterior you will not be able to feel the baby movements well
