Birth weight should be doubled by 5 months of age... So your baby's weight is very normal for her age.. no need to worry.. just give breastfeeding exclusively..

Roughly babies birth weight doubles by 5 month ,so by that rule baby is gaining normally .
Concentrate more on proper feeding and hygeine ,there is no reason weight will not increase
Every time u visit doctor for routine visit or vaccination get weight and other anthrompometric measurement plotted on growth chart to keep track .
