Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The only way to put on weight is to get more calories than what he looses. He should know how many calories does he looses and try to have a positive balance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mirjeta Guni
