Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
13.6 kg weight is within normal range for her age.
But she needs to improve her food habits. Do not worry about the amount of food she takes. Let her appetite guide it. If she does not like fruits give her fruit milk shake, if she does not like veggies mix purée if veggies with rice. Offer her variety of food and talk to her about the nutritional value of eat food. Also through stories you can explain her the nutritional value of the food. (pepper series is very useful stories series for such kind of things)
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
