Brief Answer:
Don't worry, weight and height is appropriate for the age

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for being on 'Ask A Doctor' platform

I have gone through the details and her growth is appropriate for age.
If we plot her weight and height on the growth chart it's absolutely normal.

I won't get worried regarding her diet as she is growing as per the standard and this suggests that she is getting proper calories.

6 times solids and 3 times milk are ideal at this age.
A combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fat with various minerals and vitamins should be there in meals.
There should be 3-4 major meals (three fourth to one small bowl) containing rice, pulses, wheat bread, semolina, gram flour, green vegetables, potato, etc and 2-3 snacks made of fruits, biscuits, homemade potato chips, etc. In between give milk 2-3 times (100-150 ml).

You can try a variety of items based on her choice. Add ghee, butter to the meals to make it energy dense.

Monitor height and weight as per the growth chart. The chart (Indian academy of pediatrics growth chart) is available online.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
