People keep commenting on my baby's weight

So my almost 6 month old weighs 19 nearly 20lbs. I give him the recommended amount of formula and have just started him on solids as he was never satisfied after a bottle (would scream).
He was tiny when he was a week old as he lost loads of weight due to my milk supply not being much. He was hospitalised which I felt awful about and so he was weighed every week to make sure he put weight on. Now the health visitor has said he's gained too much weight 🙄
Do you think that's too big for 6 months old? I get so many comments like "blimey what are you feeding him". It's making me feel awful 😔
Could maybe some of you give me an example of milk and solid feeding schedule that you have?
Also do you feed through the night?
He currently has two night feeds. Normally at midnight and then 5am.

Thank you

I thought following the centile line was most important, which is sounds like your baby is...

I wouldn't worry too much, as one of the PPs said when you wean the milk will drop and weight gain will slow down.
