Your son is definitely underweight when compared to his age group peers. There are so many reasons for his underweight. Diet is the most important factor which you need to concentrate and look for alternate protein rich foods. Vegetable protein is always best. Give fruits, dryfruits and Dhal daily. Avoid junk food. Timely food is also important. You also need to look into underlying health issues.
