Relax. During first 10days they lose weight then they start adding weight. So it is fine . No worry. Follow the same regime.

Weight decreases for 1 week and then increases by 200 gm a week. Please confirm weight at a clinic. Home scales are accurate

Hello. First of all, it's not a worry. Ideally all babies loose weight after birth in first 1-2weeks and then starts regaining weight only after 14 days of life. So, baby would have attained his birth weight by now. Keep a check in next 1 week.
Next Steps
Wait and recheck weight after 1 week.
