Weight gain is a process where you have to improve your metabolism. Gaining weight is a gradual process.
Along with good food habits it's important to exercise to improve muscle strength.
To prescribe you a diet it's important to know what you are eating and what is your exercise schedule. Also along with this it's important to know if you have any issues with digestion

Hello,
As per the details currently your BMI is 16.6kg/m2 which indicates you are underweight. BMI (18.5-22.9 for Asians) is an indicator of your health, which depends on your height and weight. As per the BMI indicator your weight should be between 54-66 kgs so that it is in the required range of BMI 18.5-22.9.
Difficulty in gaining weight can be due to multiple reasons and it is essential to analyze & identify them. With right nutrition and regular physical activity you can gain healthy weight. That said, it is a gradual process and requires a lot of personalized dietary approches.

Hi!
You seem to be quite underweight for your age and height. Weight gain depends on body type, stress, food intake, smoking / alcohol consumption, medical issues and proper digestion of food.
Take 2 litres of water daily, eat fresh fruits and raw vegetables with meals, use milk and milk products, add ghee to meals and make sure you eat small meals at frequent intervals.
A detailed assessment is necessary to provide a suitable diet plan and supplement that works for you.
