A. the weight of the child as well as the weight gain depends upon the genetic patterns as well as according to the birth weight of the child and the minimum weight gain should be between 500 grams to 1kg and if the child is within that limit then there is no need to worry

A. no both are on its own proportion. so please don't take much stress for this. as per my opinion, if your child looks happy healthy and active, gains enough weight, achieve age appropriate milestones then no need to worry about anything.
