Weight not increasing at all since 1 year is not considered normal, even if child is active.
After 1 year weight gain slows but should still gradually increase.
Better to check growth chart, diet history and rule out issues like inadequate calories, anemia or malabsorption.
I would suggest one pediatric evaluation.
