yes dear its fine not to worry we are belongs to from developmental country so in devlopmental countries mostly babies can crwa 12 to 13 month and they stand or walk in btween 15 to 18 month
other milestones are normal, but standing should be achieved by now...what about her diet, motherfeed or topfeed? she needs to be assessed for vitamin D deficiency as this can cause delayed walk and standing

Some may take about 18 months to walk and this is still with in normal limits.
So, you can wait for another few months.
Seek medical attention if she has not started to walk after 18 months.
From your info, her other milestones seem to be normal
Visit physiotherapist
Her walking seems to be delayed...get her checked by a qualified physiotherapist her leg muscles or foot muscles can be weak.
You should feel thankful to Allah Tabarak wa Taala, who has blessed you with a healthy baby, Her mile stones of development are absolutely normal, she has got good reflexes to grasp or catch hold far off toys/ items.
As far as her crawling is concerned, it is not at all necessary that every baby should crawl before she stands , you have already mentioned that she can very well maintains her balance , when she is made to stand. There is no neuro- muscular abnormality.
Just get her following tests done from some authentic Lab.,
* Serum Calcium
* Serum Magnesium
* Serum 25-Hydroxy Vit. D 3
In the meanwhile, start messaging her both legs from below upwards, you will be observing a noticeable change in 3 weeks time, Inn Sha Allah.
