hi
It is always good to add weight by gradual build up over a few months -like adding 2kg every month.If you have no health issues for example,thyroid,liver or diabetes,bowel condition then you may follow a dietic and exercise regime.For this, you may meet a dietician and a physician to assess your liver,thyroid status,if all okay-healthy diet regimes with more of butter, soybeans,nuts, vegetarian sources of proteins and high caloric diet may be advised by a dietician depending on your food habits, tolerance,digestive capacities.appetite stimulators may be advised by a physician like cyproheptadine, multivitamin syrups with some marginal,alcohol percentage,etc
