you have not mentioned the weight and height of your child so i can not comment on the health.but remember children eat by need and adults eat by habbit; and thinness is not bad ,what is important is activity or agility and frequency of falling sick ;so if your son eats less but is very active and does not need to meet a doctor frequently then on the whole he is healthy and you should not worry.
Next Steps
get a growth charting done for your child.

Your question has the answer. He is not eating well and is thin. Picky eaters are usually thin and the cycle perpetuates itself. Take him to a Pediatrician who can evaluate him for any systemic disease and if all is well he/she can tell you some tricks on how to feed a picky eater.
Best of luck
