He is doing ok! This is acceptable weight gain. Please download IAP growth charts app to track his weight and height. A single reading is not enough to draw a conclusion. Weight doubles usually by 5 months of age and triples by 1 year. Don't worry about what others are saying. Consult pediatrician if any doubt

Hi, Babies double their weight by 5 months. So the baby’s weight is normal. Nothing to worry. Don’t take other words to heart. Breast feed 3-4 hrly .
