LMS - it is super common for the weight gain to slow down after 6 months and it's for heaps of reasons. One of them is that the babies are more mobile. Milk is still supposed to be the main source of food until 12 months so don't stress too much about solids. My DD is a couple of months older than yours and we stopped giving her milk first and her solids really increased. I know it's hard but it makes a big difference as it allows them to understand that food can be filling like milk as well. Have you noticed that she eats some things more than others? Ie - does she love jar food or weetbix or fruit the most? I found variety was the key, I just offered her heaps of different foods all the time and she slowly learned to eat them. It was a real learning process though and super messy.
With the weight thing though, I wouldn't be too worried. My DD weighed less than that at that age and not all children are going to be rolly babiesIf you are really concerned go back to the GP and ask if there is anything else you should be doing but I would just focus on making sure lots of solids are being offered and that she is drinking enough milk (which it sounds like she is)
