As per your age you need to be 45 kg. Include more of protein rich foods in your diet, if you are a non vegetarian have two eggs per day along with chicken or fish 2 - 3 times a week, if you are a vegetarian then you need to include more of whole pulses like rajmah, cholae along with paneer, have 2 bananas per day and minimum 500 ml of milk and milk products per day, at the same time it is important to follow a regular exercise regimen and always maintain proper meal timings.
