Weight and height are considered in 2 aspects, Firstly,weight/height for a particular age, Second,weight for height. You must be aware of BMI,body mass index,which is a measure of weight and height,and it should be 21 to 25. Your daughter's BMI is 23.07,within limits,she's fine.
Next Steps
Make sure you give her a balanced diet,cut back on starches,and gets adequate physical excercise(swimming is best!!)
