Hi,
I understand your concern to gain weight and increase your height. A balanced nutritious diet and exercise will help you for both as you are only 18 and still have a few years to increase height. That said, it is also important to understand that height is genetic and inadequate nutritious further affects it. I suggest you do not opt for short term goals and look for a long term health benefits. A personalized diet session is highly recommended for you as it takes into account your lifestyle, routine, eating habits, stress, sleep, physical activity, height, weight, etc. This helps in identifying the gap areas and correcting them accordingly. Powders or medications will only give short term results.
As a start following guidelines can be of help -
1. Never skip meals and eat balanced meals
2. Incorporate protein rich foods such as dals, pulses, sprouts, dairy, non-veg in every meal
3. Healthy fats in the form of nuts and oilseeds to be incorporated in the diet
4. Have calorically dense foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam and fruits like banana, Chickoo, custard apple as it helps in weight gain
5. Exercise daily for 45 minutes. Weight bearing exercises help in weight gain and certain exercises such as pull ups, cycling, swimming, etc help in height
6. Never exercise on an empty stomach have a fruit before and after exercise some protein is mandatory
7. Avoid sweets, refined flour, processed and packaged food, etc.
