Brief Answer:
you are in underweight range
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for providing the information.
I have calculated your BMI and you are in underweight.
Rather than going for drugs, I would suggest some dietary modification.
While eating junk food may result in weight gain, it will not address the nutritional deficiencies that come with being underweight.
Without radically changing your diet, you can increase your calorie intake with each meal by adding nut or seed toppings, cheese.Try almonds, sunflower seeds, fruit or whole-grain wheat toast.
Consider high-protein meats, which can help you to build muscle. Also, choose nutritious carbohydrates, such as brown rice and other whole grains.
Apart from this, too much aerobic exercise will burn calories and ultimately work against your weight goal.
I would suggest you to follow this for month and it should help you.
Take care.
