Muscle & Weight Gain for Teenagers

Question

Asked for Male, 15 Years

Hi My son is 15 and is now 5ft 9, his weight is only 53KG. He grew tall and lanky in the last one year but his weight has not picked up. He looks under nourished though he has all kinds of food. He is an active kid and plays Basketball and the coach also said he needs to gain muscle and weight, else he might injure himself. Would like to know any suggestions for muscle & weight gain through diet & supplements (if he really needs)
