Your weight is 45 kg. Your height is 5' 3". That is 159 cm.
So your BMI is 18. That is the lower limit of normal.
You should be about 52-53 kg.
I suggest you should do a brisk walk for half an hour and some exercises for about half an hour.
You should increase the quantity of your diet by about 10% . Have two eggs per day and 3-4 pieces of dry fruits. Have half a litre of milk.
Take one Capsule Multivitamin and two Tab Calcium daily.
That should work for you.

Being lean is a good thing
Unnecessarily gaining weight can be medically unhealthy
Exercise and concentrate on a good protein rich diet rather than weight gain
