What Foods Should Be Given For A 2 And Half Year Old To Increase The Weight?

Hi Doctor, My kid is 2yrs 3 months old. She was born in the 34th week and her birth weight was 1.5 kgs. She is just 10kgs now. She has no other health problems and is a very active kid. She also speaks our mother tongue almost fluently by now. Her height is 85cms but she is thin. She eats normal food which we eat and I give her milk with pediasure. But she drinks just half a glass of it. I give her oats, dates, ghee, butter, one egg and boiled potatoes as well almost daily. What foods should I give to increase her weight?
