Dont worry your kid weight normal only as per age.
If birth weight is 2.5kg then exactly at 1 yr of age the weight should triple the birth weight so it comes around 7.5kg
Now at 7.5months your kid weight 6.1kg its ok adequate only.
Next Steps
Try to give more complementary feed than breast milk.

A baby's wt doubles the value of birth wt at 5 months and triples by 1 year. The weight gain of your baby seems adequate and to comment with more surety we need to have a monthly records of her wt.
At 7.5 months supplementary feeds can be started and should be given atleast 2 times a day along with continued breastfeeding.
Supplementary feeds: mashed potatoes, porridge, khichadi, milk with finely powdered roti or kheer with meshed rice, boiled and meshed dal or meshed veggies or pureed fruits.

Weight of the child is normal.
During the transition of breast milk to weaning food weight gain will be little less.Now the child will catch up with weight.
Start proper weaning food.
