As he is active in all terms, there is no major issue. Just keep tracking his weight. Don't worry too much. If he is active, he will gain weight at some stage. Congrats on giving only giving breastfeeding. Eat fresh home cooked food with ghee, fruits and vegetables. Consult a pediatrician to rule out any other issues
