Let me know your height as well.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
To get an appropriate estimate of your health, I would like to know your height, any other symptoms, health status of your parents and any tests done.
I would like to know the reports of basic tests like CBC, liver function tests, kidney function tests, thyroid profile, fasting blood sugar, total protein-albumin and globulin, etc.
If you have no medical condition then the best way to gain weight is to raise the calorie content of your food. You should take atleast 3 - 4 hearty meals and 3 - 4 snacks in a day. Along with your regular foods, you should take high calorie foods like milk products: cheese, butter, ghee, creamy foods, sweets, etc. You can also take nutritional supplements like ensure mixed in milk one to two times a day. Keep a regular track of your weight.
Hope it helps
