Yorkie Weight Problem!!!??!

Hi. I have a 4month old yorkie female. She is currently 4.0 lbs. Her mother is 7 pounds ( but is overweight) and her dad is 5lbs. Now I am expecting my yorkie pup to be anywhere from 5-6lbs, which is a nice healthy weight. Ok this is the problem. She is, like I said, 4 months and 4lbs. Does this make sense or is my yorkie overweight. She is only 4.5inches at the shoulder. So she is not tall. Should I keep her on a strict diet? Because the girl can eat. I feed her half cups twice daily of pedigree puppy chow. When should she typically stop growing? Is this normal? Does anyone think she will lose the puppy weight as she matures? Please give me any helpful and respectful advice. I have done alot research but am still new to this breed. Thanks alot....
