My DD at 3+3 is still around 12 kgs - fluctuates from about 11.5 to 12kg. She is 96cm. She is an appalling eater - extremely fussy and simply won't eat if she doesn't like something. I've got to the point with her now that if she has had a few days of exceptionally bad eating, I don't really care what she eats, so long as she eats something.
We are seeing a paed with her regularly for an unrelated issue, and he has no real concerns about her weight. Says she is obviously a skinny minny, but is otherwise mentally and physically healthy - she is very active.
I really can't give you any advice on how to encourage eating because I fail with my little girl too. I do worry about her when I know she is growing so much taller, but not gaining any weight at all, but the paed being happy with her has put my mind at ease a bit. It is definitely worth a trip to your GP or better yet a paed to discuss your concerns.
