Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
To gain weight you would need to increase your calorie intake from foods and drinks and decrease your energy output (energy loss with activity).
To increase your calorie intake you would need to: (1)increase the portion sizes of your meals
(2)increase the frequency of your meals
(3)increase the calorie value of your meals by adding cheese/oils/dressings/peanut butter etc
(4)continue the use of snacks. Make sure they are also high energy eg nuts
I hope this helps
