Brief Answer:
Tips advised

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attached report and definitely the weight is less and you need to take care of yourself.
Take a lot of protein in the form of pulses, cottage cheese, milk, eggs and chicken if possible.
Drink a lot of water and avoid long working hours.
Take salads and fresh fruits along with almond and walnuts which will help in weight gain.
Take care dear and I hope you have an average weight baby by the time of delivery
