2.5kg is fine for compound exercises, but smaller muscles don't grow stronger that quick, it's especially noticeable on movements you can't cheat to compensate.
What sort of unicorn are you? Alongside calves they're the most stubborn muscles I got.
Stay away from pronated grip in that case, do curls in supinated position. Try out incline dumbbell curls or bayesian curls and see how those feel, personally I never feel it in my forearms on those, other than grip sometimes.
Genetics lol, my legs and branchioradialis are (relatively) strong AF but my delts and forearms are extremely stubborn, I have never heard of bayesian curls though, will try them, already do incline on one of my pull days
