It looks like there is defecit in your calorie intake, you have to add atleast 500 to 750 calories on a everyday basis and they should be mainly from your protein source. This will help you to gain approximately 1/2 to 750gms.
This increased intake should be well substantiated with optimum combination of muscle building activity.
Health Tips
The advice is to supply the calorie needs directly from food sources itself ,since you have mentioned that all your vitals are normal there should not be any issues with regard to absorption of nutrients to give the expected results ,for a customized diet prescription kindly connect through practo online.

Yes you need to add calories in diet. Try to manage eating dencer meals. A Smoothee with Protein supplement can be taken. Or foods like milkshake Dry fruit ladoo or Churma ladoo can be taken.
Try to manage exercise and have a good pre and post workout snacks to build muscle mass and increase weight.
