Thanks for reaching out through Lybrate. You have to take good amount of protein in the diet in the form of dhal, sambhar, eggs if you take. You need to use bars and pull your self by holdimg your hands on the bars. Alternately you can use a basketball ring. You jump and learn to play like a basket ball player.

To gain some weight, you need to eat healthy and natural food + daily exercise. Take at least two fruits per day and one glass fruit juice. Eat 20 almonds & 5 dates daily. Drink full cream milk, curd, lassi, banana shakes etc. If your are Non veg you can have more eggs, chicken, fish. For Veg - have more dals, rajma, kabuli chana, soya beans etc. Avoid junk food and colas. Avoid chips and other namkeen. No need for any extra supplements. Natural diet is best. Go for 30 mins walks / exercise / yoga daily. Feel confident about yourself. All the best!
