Hello Her present weight compared to her birth weight looks ok. As already her birth weight was low, it is roughly  adequate at this age. Please monitor her length and head circumference along with weight every month for better follow up and assessment.

The baby’s growth as per weight gain is adequate Please check her head circumference which is much more important Give iron and vitamin d drops As the baby is preterm you have to do visual and hearing screening

Very poor if only 3.3 kg is achieved in 5 months after birth. If required repeated admission then it's an another issue. Kindly take help ASAP.
