Hi I understand your concern. You can try good foods for gaining weight like milk shakes nuts and high protein foods like dairy products, pulses, chana or sprouts. If non veg then eggs, fish or lean meat along with whole grains. Aswagandha has many benefits as per ayurveda n natural remedies but weight gain benefit is controversial. Hence you can start having nutritious meals, if you want you can consult a dietician for detailed personalized consultation.
