Yes, the weight is okay. Baby's weight is supposed to double the birth weight by 6 months on the average, continue breastfeeding your child on demand. Keep up the good work!!
A healthy newborn on EBF can not be constipated. However if the child has medical or surgical disorders like Hirschsprung disease or other intestinal obstruction of any cause, the child can be constipated."
Frequent poo is normal in EBF babies. If the stool is not watery then there's nothing to worry about.
Tongue sucking is one of the common oral habits seen among children. It is normal for infants to suck their tongue, thumbs or fingers. It gives them a form of comfort or emotional security but when this habit goes beyond the age of 5 years when the permanent teeth start to erupt, then it can cause dental problems such as the teeth being out of alignment. You do not need to worry or do anything for now. As the baby grows older you will need to encourage him or her to stop by positive reinforcement that is giving rewards on days when the child does not suck. I hope you find this very useful.

The case of excessive sweat (hyperhidrosis) is not so common but it does exist. Keep your child hydrated, give a lot of fluid preferably water.. Reduce the temperature of the AC more so as to make the room cooler..... If you are still bothered about the sweat, visit a paediatrician to confirm if it's a case of true hyperhidrosis
