Please check weight scale
Weight loss that too nearly 10 percentage is a matter of concern
Keep a weight record weekly
If child is active maybe then weight scale error is more likely

Weight loss in a child is never normal. If the measurements are correct, she needs detailed growth assesment .
Next Steps
Please consult a Pediatrician physically.

Previous or present weighing scale is wrong.
Otherwise there is a major medical issue to the child.
