Underweight can be due to several reasons. Try to give Multivitamin syrup/tablets for one month. In addition give a dose of deworming tablet. Children are easily addicted to junk food hence they tend to skip home food. You can make more variety of foods and put veggies in stuffed paratha/puri. Give more milk/curd/ paneer. Daily 15-20 nuts like almond/peanuts. Let them play outdoor for at least one hour. Don't force feed, let meal times be happy times.
