In case, someone else reads this thread, I am posting this message to correct a mistake above:
To estimate the number of stunted children correctly as in the DHS report,
1. You have to use the weight variable (HV005/1000000)
2. You have to select de facto children using HV103.
In the message above, I had obtained the same percentage of stunted children (37.9%) as in Table 11.1 of Rwanda DHS 2014-15, but the denominator I had was 3825 instead of 3813 (reported).
After taking into account de facto children, I came up with the same percentage and also the same denominator as in the DHS report.
