I am 24 year old 5 feet 3 inches tall but my weight is only 42 kg. I am very low on bmi. Its 16.4 only. I tried almost everything for weight gain but nothing made me happy. I tried protein powders for months but that helped me only with 2-3 kgs. I want to know how can I gain weight fast. Should I go for any medicine? My diet is also not less. Its same as other people of my age. But still I am unable to put on weight. Please help me regarding this.
