Welcome to HealthcareMagic
As You told, You want to gain weight.
For this you should not rely upon the commercial protein powder formulations.
For gaining weight have daily regular exercise, well balance nutritious diet. High protein diet as Eggs, milk, chicken, meat, pulses (Dal) etc. Avoid stressful events, remove depression from mind. Even if you fail to gain weight concern nearby diet expert/physician.

Dear ramesh
i agree you are slightly under weight. I advice you not to run after the medicines that increase weight suddenly instead first look for causes that contribute to your being under weight. Look for abdominal worms, indigestion or liver disorder, your dietary habits, stress and physical activity.
as a supportive medicine i can just suggest liver tonic that will improve digestion.
