Hi,
At her age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If she is active and playing around you need not to worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding a good amount of ghee to it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
