Hello Lybrate user, thanks for your query. Please do mention what is your current weight and height. People may call you skinny but it is not necessary that you are underweight. May be your weight is ideal as per your height. Secondly get your nutrition assessment done by a qualified dietician. Get your thyroid profile tested to rule out hyperthyroidism. Thirdly, you should consume high caloric and high protein foods like nuts, eggs, whole milk and some amount of good fats in your diet. You should also include strength training exercises in your regime to increase muscle mass. For detailed meal plan, please consult and work with a qualified dietitian and you will definitely see results. Thanks!
