It's important to know weight is according to height.  As your child is not very low in weight if she's healthy and active and good in studies can be ignored. Take height in centimeters substract from 100 And substract 10 percent of that number is minimum weight.

Give your child calorie dense food rich in good fats like ghee. No supplement will increase weight. Give food rich in carbohydrates and good fat. Thank you
