Everything you’ve listed just sounds like normal baby behaviour.
You can’t pick out signs of autism at this age as so many things that babies do naturally are ‘signs’ of autism. They just so happen to look similar.
Try not to worry about it as it’ll just steal the joy from your time with her. She seems very normal.
My baby is 1 and does many of those things / did them for a bit and then does something completely different now.
The only thing I’d say you might want to talk to your health visitor about is the food - weaning is so tricky and it can be really disheartening if they’re not eating much, but the HV can definitely help and guide you on that.

I worried so much about my son from 10 months as he would do odd things like flap hands didn’t crawl until 12 months , at 12 months he loved spinning wheels on toy cars for ages still hand flapped used to sit on his bum and sort of rock and slam his feet on the floor ,but honestly one day he just stopped doing all that stuff he’s almost 19 months now and he’s an amazing perfect little toddler , as Person above said enjoy her they all do strange things she’s still so young , if your still worried in a few months then talk to your HV x
