Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the hematological report and clinical features, I am of the following opinion.:
1. 99.6 is normal MCV (80-100) and MCH, MCHC are also near normal limits.
2. Good to know that you have no other deficiency.
3. WBC count is mildly reduced. Platelet count if reduced also, might suggest bone marrow problems secondary to malnutrition.
4. Your weight appears to low. You need to improve your diet to improve over all values.

Bone marrow biopsy not necessary now. Improve nutrition and followup tests after 1 month.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
