General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
At the age of 21 with 6 feet your weight should be having between 57 to 73 kg.
As you have 60 kg, it is normal.
It seems that your calories expenditure is more than calories intake due to your heavy exercise like gymming and playing basket ball.
So take more protein in your diet with moderate amount of fat and carbohydrates.
Avoid more straineous exercise.
This will give positive calorie balance leading to weight gain.
Ok and take care.
