Underweight

Question

Underweight

Asked for Male, 23 Years

I'm 23 years old male having a height of 174 cms (5'9"). I weigh 48kg. I have been underweight throughout my life. I tried high calorie diets which proved of no use. I eat much more than what an average person does. I haven't seen anyone as thin as me in real life. I hope to get a solution ASAP as this is really affecting my self esteem.
