Poor weight of 1 year old

My 1 year old son weighs only 7.5 kg. Our doctor has also raised concern about his weight gain. We’ve been advised to increase iron-rich foods in his diet and also start iron syrup. The biggest challenge is that he simply refuses to eat. The moment he wakes up, he wants milk first,if I don’t feed him, he cries a lot. Because of this, I’m struggling to establish a proper meal routine, and he often refuses solids altogether. The only positive thing is that he’s very active, playful, and meets his milestones well, but his weight is a constant worry for me. I’m feeling really stressed and anxious about his eating habits and weight. Please suggest if there's any underline issue related to it. Bw - 2.27 kg Preterm baby at 35 week.
