Hello. Your baby weight is on a good side. If he is taking breastfeeding well, without any vomiting and having good sleep, you don't have to worry.
You should feed him every 2-3 hourly and on demand if needed.

Usually baby should be feed every 2 to 3hrly or more as per babys demand.
Babys birth weight usually doubles by 5month of age.
3.5 kg birth weight is a healthy baby and some babies can gain weight faster than others like your baby.
But in some some cases if mother is diabetic then sometimes baby can gain excess weight
Next Steps
You should continue the feeding same way as you are doing currently.
Health Tips
If mother is diabetic then consult your nearest paediatrician for blood workup of the baby.
