Your question itself indicates the cause of your ill growth....thats worm infestation. You may take anti worm treatment e. g. Albendazole treatment. Take a complete course and get your stools checked in a pathology lab. Also see whether there is occult blood in your stools. Once you have taken complete course of Anti worm treatment, you may focus on nutritional improvement. I will suggest you consult a dietitian , and get your diet charted and follow it religiously. Please note you will start noticing result in months not in days, so you have to be patient. Take good protein supplement. Have a healthy life style. But remember , as you are already 19 years age, its unlikely to gain much height but your weight will definitely gain. I will suggest you also go for multivitamin medication for correction. Get your Thyroid status checked.
