Hello mom she has a good height for her age, her weight though as per her age is higher but as it is not on obese though, 
as far as she is quite active for her age as well, it is good

See actually for the current age of your child a child is having a very good height which is why the weight is on the higher side but still it is actually on the higher side I agree that your child does not look obese but it’s the same way because it’s much higher than the criteria but the height is also equally good so maybe you know all in all if I look at the situation that’s there your child would still be considered about 5 kg overweight further just to clear your doubt I would recommend you to kindly check as per WHO standards you’ll have a better clarity on that
