What is the height and head size. That is also important. Weight is between 3 rd to 50th centile for age so no problem. If activities are normal, no need to change anything. He will gain weight at a later age as he is eating a good diet. Many times weight stays low for a few years and then increases in spurts. So keep monitoring every 3 months. Visit a pediatrician for more detailed explanation
