Hi,
For ideal weight we need to know the details of height. Basis on which the ideal weight can be calculated. That said weight gain is a gradual process & it needs a lot of personalized dietary approaches. Drastic changes, working out excessively or supplements will only give short term results. Improving your overall food intake and regularity in physical activity mainly weight-bearing exercises will help you in putting on weight. It is also important to understand that weight gain should be due to an increase in lean muscle mass and not fat gain. Patience and compliance are two things that will help and show the results.
A personalized diet is strongly recommended as constant modifications are required.
