Weight is within normal range. Height and head size measurement is as important as weight for checking baby health. One single milestone is not important. We check a set of milestones to know development status. Please visit a pediatrician or take a second opinion. Your baby appears normal from the details you have given

Please continue D3 till 1 year of age and kindly see that the complimentary feeding u are giving is supplying enough calories to ur child because mal nutrition can also slightly delay motor milestones

Weight is on the lower side but nothing worrisome. Continue vitamin d till 1yr of age. You can wait and see for 1-2 months as in some children there can be 2-3 months delay in developing some milestone
Next Steps
Physical consultation with pediatrician

A rough estimate. At 10 months, baby's weight should be 3 times the normal weight.
However in your case, weight is very slightly on lower side but nothing to be worried about. Vit D drops to be continued till 1 year.
