Don't worry, babies lose weight after birth.
Still it is normal range only.

Birth weight doubles at 6 months. As your baby is 2 months old, and his birthweight was 2.8 kg. So his weight should be around 3.7 kg . But its okay. Take good care of him, Try to stay away from repeated infections. Maintain hygiene with him and don't worry. He'll be alright.
Next Steps
