Hello and thank you for your question
this could be due to gut infection or parasitic infestation, you may need a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor
There really are no supplements for helping you gain weight, it is just about eating more calories. However, unless you are very tall (over 6 feet) it is not really healthy to gain more weight. Even at 6 feet tall 155 is in normal body weight range. Gaining weight quickly is also not that healthy. I suggest you focus on getting healthier, not on getting heavier.
