Hello I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that your condition is responsible for your weight loss and it's expected.
There is also a low appetite which further increases your problem.
I suggest try to eat small meals frequently.
Eat a high calorie diet and high protein diet for weight gain.
Try to get protein from meat , chicken, eggs and milk products.
Hope you find my advice of some benefit.Good luck
