Body and facial hairs are very low. My thyroid functioning is normal. I looks like 18 yr old boy. I want to gain some weight. Help me

Hello,

Your Body Mass Index ( BMI) works out to be 19.4. It is in the normal range (18.5 to 25) though on the lower side. Have you checked your body temperature as first thing in the morning on getting up? If so let me know.
If you feel that your facial hair is not normal, then you could check your male sex hormone testosterone to see if it is normal.
The best way to gain weight is by eating more wholesome food. Use of steroids etc as a short cut to gain weight is dangerous as you can get a number of side effects.
I shall be happy to answer if you have more queries.
