Baby weight is within the normal range. Also we have to compare with height, head circumference and birth weight and see overall development of the child. Please don't listen to neighbours, relatives and don't compare with other children. Visit your pediatrician for check up. There does not seem to be any problem.

No you need not. He's between 3rd and 15th centile on growth charts. As long as he continues on this same trajectory he's fine.
Next Steps
You need serial weight recording for a complete assessment. Although, very low on percentile chart ( < 3rd centile) is also concerning. Get to know and get his weight, height centiles charted 3 to 4 times a year
Health Tips
For ideal weight, you need to know his height. Weight on the same percentile as his height would be ideal. But not ideal does not necessarily mean 'abnormal'!

At one year of the age expected weight is three times of the birth weight so you too calculate as per that
No need to worry
Also need to see the psychological and social development
