21 lbs for 18 months is normal. This age they would love to explore many things . Playing may take priority. Don’t force him if he is active and playful don’t worry. Give him nutritional foods even less quantity but high calorie and food he likes

During second year children will have more interest in playing and exploration. Encourage group or family eating. Change menu with different items. Give 3 meals nad 3 snacks  with 3hours gap inbetween
