Hi lybrate-user. Your bmi (your body mass index) is 16.26 which is below normal i. E 18.5-24.9. To increase your weight, improve the protein intake by consuming food such as soyabeans, peanuts, chicken, tuna, eggs, cheese etc. Build up your muscle through weight training i. E lifting weights as it will stimulate your appetite. The extra muscle will speed up your metabolism and so you will need to consume more calories which will enhance your weight. If you need any further clarification, please feel free to contact me.
