Her length for age is normal ma..
But weight of a child is assessed based on birth weight of the baby..
Next Steps
If she was 2.5-2.75 kg at birth ,her weight gain is normal.
But if she was more than 3kgs then her weight for age is on a lower side.

200gm wt gain in what time duration ? Height is ok for 1 year and accordingly weight is at lower side. Still if she is active and gaining weight adequately , i think nothing to worry.
Next Steps
give all homemade fresh hygienic food. Avoid outside foods and formulas.
