Certainly there are ways which can be tried to help you gain weight.
It would have been helpful if you would have posted your investigation report along.
Few dietary modification and exercise can be added to gain a healthy weight even in connective tissue disorder like Marfan's.
Next Steps
Along with supplements I would suggest you start sokme aerobic exercise that will increase uptake by muscle and progressively will help muscle grow leading to a healthy weight gain rather than increased fat.
