His weight is good. Babies after 6 months age dont grow as fast as initial 6 months... so they dont look chubby... its normal for all babies.. those who look chubby will be slightly more weight for their age. So nothing to worry... if he is growing according to age. That is enough. Next time when u visit your pediatrician ask for growth chart and keep tracking wt and ht...

His weight is adequate for his age. Continue the complementary food and you can give rice, moong dhal with ghee.
Next Steps
He may not be chubby but he is healthy, so do not worry. As the babies grow they become very active, so weight gain comes down.
