Health question

I am mildly concerned about my 2 1/2 year olds weight gain,he has gained 5 3/4 lbs in 7 months and only grew like an inch. He has the same build and body type as his older cousin whos mother was warned numerous times and now he is very obese (4 yrs old 90 lbs) So that makes me more concerned. I just want him to be healthy,this is not about looks (his father seems to think I only care about how he looks).

I'm not really sure what to do though. I really dont know much about nutrition-so I have no clue what we should be eating-any advice/healthy recipes would be nice...Maybe if you could tell me the foods that are bad to feed him? (I know cookies,chips,juice)

And any ideas on thing we could do to keep active in winter? (I live in Ohio its cold) This is the thing that gets me,He ran around outside all summer long..No tv time or anything honestly so Idk

And do you think im crazy for worrying about a 2 yr olds weight or is this ok?

O hes on the 95% for weight and 25% for height..He does not look it though I swear!

Is he eating normal? Like no extra snacks or treats between meals?
