Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As your baby is playful and active there is nothing to worry. If you are making her eat biscuits and snacks please stop that. Your baby should have gained 10kg min by now. As you are making her eat all protein rich food nothing to worry she will slowly gain weight. Increase the number of times you feed her.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
