Should I gain weight during ATT?

2022-02-06 02:28:18
My current weight metrics are these - Weight(64.8), Height(169cm), BMI(22.7). From the general overview, my BMI says I should keep my current weight. However, after 2 months of treatment(due in 2 weeks), my medicines are going to change based on my weight. I think 3 tablets if under 65kgs and 5 tablets if over 65kgs. Should I increase my weight slightly (67 kgs) or should I keep my current weight?
