Hello,
Weight gain is a slow and a gradual process and patience us very important. Eating right, balanced and nutritious meals along with regular physical activity will be of help in gaining weight. You can manage eating healthy with the foods available at home all you need is right guidance. Increase in height is based on many factors such as your nutritional status, genetics, activity etc.
A personalized session is strongly recommended for you as it will take into account your lifestyle, routine, etc.
As a start you can follow the guidelines below-
1. Do not skip meals & have small frequent meals

Hi
I think you are not taking a proper healthy balanced plan which is leading to these symptoms.
I would suggest you to meet any expert and get a personalized tips or get a consultation with me and a diet plan as tips may not work properly on you.
Following I mentioning few weight gain tips which may help you to some extent
> Eat more calories than you body burns
> Eat plenty of protein
> Fill up on plenty of carbs and fat and eat at least three times per day
> Don't drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get enough calories.
> Eat more often. Squeeze in an additional meal or snack whenever you can, such as before bed.
> Drink milk. Drinking whole milk to quench thirst is a simple way to get in more high quality protein and calories
> Use bigger plates. Definitely use large please if you are trying to get in more calories as smaller plates cause people to automatically eat less.
> Get quality sleep. Sleeping properly is very important for muscle growth.
Disclaimer : Tip may vary if u suffering from any other medical issues
But for proper results and increasing height and increase your appetite you need to meet me for a consultation ...if you want to meet me for a consultation you can connect over a number mentioned on my Practo profile or opt for a personal chat option
