in case if its too low ..then we should look into the following causes of low weight
here they are
1} genetic
2}increased metabolic rate
3)lack of proper nutrition
4)thyroid disorders
5)malabsorption aur commonly called as indigestion
other rare medical causes are
1) chronic illness like tuberculosis

if his weight loss is associated with following symptoms then he needs a checkup
fatigue and early tiredness
irritablity
weakness
anemia
getting frequent infections
increased sweating
increased frequency of defecation
rapid weight loss

considering it to be a normal genetic built ..here are the following measures to restore weight
1) a balanced diet including proteins ans carbs..like eggs,,fish..pulses..milk..
2)nuts like walnut almonds figs daily
3} regular exercise to help utilize the nutrient effeciently
4)plenty glasses of water every day..around ten

He should take a high protein diet along with strength training exercises. Some of the foods are Dal, peanuts, almonds, cashewnuts, soya, egg white and meat products. These should be taken in higher amounts in the diet. A regular aerobic exercise along with strength training is effective.
