dear parent, first you should check his thyroid hormonal levels , thyroid hormonal disturbance may lead to increased weight. then you should monitor the caloric intake of the child. he should not take more than a 1000 kilo calorie per day. increase his intake of vegetables and fruits, proteins and whole wheat as bran.
