As far as weight is concerned, she is not far behind. At 6 years most children will be about 18-19 kg.
Try to find out her likes and dislikes. Give her what she likes. You can give her small feeds, more frequently , as her desire. Don't discipline her.
Keep some sweets made with milk in your house where it is accessible to her and let her eat that as per her wish.
By the way, how is your weight and your husband's weight ?
