Is 21.8 pounds under weight for a 25 month old?

Yes: The weight is at the low end. You should consult a pediatrician for evaluation. Check this site for growth charts: https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41c017.pdf

Nutrition/work up: Review the whole growth chart, including height, weight, BMI and head circumference with your Pediatrician. Consider a nutrition consultation and laboratory testing for conditions associated with poor growth.
