Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
In India, the way the General Public and the Judiciary are after the Doctors' blood , there is no point in you having a Normal delivery.
If you had asked me this question 50 years earlier my answer would have been to have a trial for normal delivery.
But at present there is no scope for any error of judgement for the Doctor. So you must have a Caesarean.

Baby weight more than 2.5 kg is good
Ultrasound would not be giving an exact confirmation of the baby weight is just a gross estimate
Yes there is a discrepancy between the weeks AC is corresponding to and the weeks by lmp so that would be growth restriction
you can try normal delivery if the liquor is normal
