Please understand, at this age body's growth hormones are growing his body and organs. When they become less active in 20s, weight starts to increase without doing anything. Some other kids may look plump but that is due to poor lifestyle and less activity. More weight does not always mean better health. There is nothing to worry. Let him play outdoors for 1 hour daily.
