Hello,
The present height is less than the expected height for the age. The weight is also on the lower side.
Consult a paediatrician and get evaluated. Global developmental delay and malnutrition must be ruled out. A thyroid function test(TFT) has to be done to rule out hypothyroidism.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
