Don't worry first 15 days baby will loose weight of atleast 5-10% of total birth weight
After that baby gains weight of 30-40gm per day
So your baby weight is normal only

Greetings
Newborns normally lose up to 10% of birth weight initially but should regain it by two weeks of age.A failure to regain birth weight by one month is consistent with a medical concern known as failure to thrive.Potential causes for this include inadequate milk intake, improper feeding attachment, or underlying metabolic or gastrointestinal issues.Management options generally include optimizing breastfeeding techniques, supplementing with expressed milk or formula, and treating any underlying infections.You must consult a pediatrician

It is matter of concern as at 1 month of age baby should have regained birth weight and growing further
Please check:
• Breastfeeding frequency and latch
• Duration of feeds
• Urine output (at least 6 times/day)
• Any vomiting, fast breathing, fever or excessive sleepiness
Visit your pediatrician for assesment
