His weight is sufficient as per Indian average for boys. Do not worry. Do not compare your kid to any other kid. Continue with the diet. Kids might look plumpy in the initial six months of age. Later as they grow, their plumpyness reduces gradually as their height increases. Thats the reason. Weight is correct for his age. Stop bothering about it.

His weight is good. There is no issue. There is no way to make a child plump. There is also the risk of him becoming overweight if he becomes plump. Better to have an active and normal weight child than a plump child
