Your are not underweight as your BMI falls in the normal range though it's on the lower side Yes you can take mother's horlicks but I would suggest to avoid it because 1. It's not needed in first 3 months 2. It can agrevate nausea vomiting of pregnancy as it contains high amount of proteins and milk solids
Next Steps
you should start tab folic acid 5mg daily get vaginal USG (TVS) done after 2weeks to 1. confirm viability of the pregnancy 2. location of ther pregnancy
