Brief Answer:
not possible to gain height
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Sorry to disappoint you, but it is not possible to gain height after 26 years of age. You can look taller by wearing heals but to increase height by medications or any other method is not possible.
Very sorry to disappoint you but I do not want to give any false hopes.
Height does not increase after marriage, it is wrong information.
You can follow healthy diet,high protein and high carbohydrate diet to gain weight as at 35 kg your weight is also low. Exercise will increase your stamina.
More importantly your health matter rather than height or weight and if you are healthy all other things should not concern you.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
yes gym will help
Detailed Answer:
You need to strictly follow a high protein high carbohydrate diet.
Since you are vegetarian you need to take a lot of pulses, like daal, peanuts, dry fruits like cashews-pistachios, walnuts, dates.
Calorie intake is important for weight gain. Eat bananas, milk and dairy should also be a part of your diet.
You need to eat atleast 2,500 calories per day to have weight gain along with high protein (70-80gm per day) i.e Legumes, Soyabean etc. and Fibre rich diet(whole wheat , brown rice , green leafy vegetables like stuffs)
Let me know if there's anything I can help you with further.
