What I can see from your statement is that you are really feeling bad about your weight . First of all this is nothing to feel bad about . What matters is fitness and immunity level . If you can climb 50 stairs without stopping and you don't get frequent bouts of cough and cold and diarrheas , then this weight is nothing to worry about . Carry yourself confidently . Go for regular workout, sleep well , eat home cooked meals at regular intervals. Be happy. You can book a call on Practo. I can help you

Good evening,
I understand how being underweight can affect confidence and how comments from others can feel humiliating. Please know that healthy weight gain is absolutely possible with the right nutrition and structured planning.
Being thin often happens due to low calorie absorption, low protein intake, high metabolism, stress, or vitamin deficiencies — so the first step is a proper dietary and medical assessment to identify the cause.
With a personalised weight-gain plan focused on:
• higher-calorie balanced meals
• adequate protein intake
• appetite-improving food combinations
• strength-based exercise
• correcting any deficiencies
you can gain weight safely and steadily.
If you’d like, you can connect with me on Practo for a customised weight-gain diet plan based on your routine and health reports.

Yes, you can definitely gain healthy weight with simple home vegetarian foods 😊
But the key is right combination + timing + portion, not just eating more.
I usually design a personalized plan with foods like roti, dal, rice, ghee, milk, nuts, banana shakes etc. based on your routine.
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step with a proper weight gain plan for 1 month.
