15 month refusing food

Hi- looking for some suggestions to support my daughter with her eating.
she has Cmpa and is weighed monthly - currently hovering just below 2nd percentile.
she has certain foods that she likes (plain pasta, cocktail sausages, grapes, crumpet, crisps, dairy free custard) but rarely eats more than a few bites and I am aware that she is not receiving a particularly balanced diet. She will throw it on the floor or just shake her head when offered food. We try to pack as many calories in as possible but she won’t even try the food we offer most of the time! She is offered oat milk but usually refuses this and wants breast milk- I would like to wean her off breast milk ideally but reluctant when this seems to be her main energy source! She refuses food at nursery as well.
she is slightly delayed on some of her milestones e.g. gross motor she can crawl and pull herself up but struggles to weight bear. Also sits in a w position and feet turn in a lot when standing which doesn’t help!
