Hi.
Babies double their weight by 5 month, so your baby’s weight is normal. As the baby grows older , weight gain per month decreases because they are more active (crying/ laughing/ rolling over), so look lean. Sleep too decreases.
Next Steps
They giving more complementary foods and calorie dense food in the evening.
