Loose muscles and unable to gain weight
In last August I had a problem of gastritis fr a mnth, after that I had taken medication and had resolved that. Post that, I have noticed that i had lost a considerable amount of weight and later i found that i became more thin than before. My calf muscles which use to stay tight now are hanging, muscles are there though, I lost aome body width overall. My weight used to stay at 70 constantly which has fallen to 65kgs. And no matter how much i eat, it doesn't reach 70 again. Post 1-2 months of these incidents i had developed problem of tinnitys for which I'm eating medicines like absolute 3g, nerverich, went through course of medrol as well. Anyway, please help me regarding this. Even after lifting dumbells daily it doesn't feel like I'm gaining much. And most of the time now, i develop some hives like thing in my arms(near the shoulder and biceps area), which lasts for around half an hour and then the itching subsides, but the hives stay fr sometime.. please help me diagnose d situatn

Hello
You wrote that you are 65kg now but didn't mentioned your height, because with your height and weight we can calculate your BMI..than you can get an idea that you are in ideal weight or less weight...
Anyway if you are still suffering from gastritis problem or any condition related to digestive system than you will face weight related problems..so go for proper investigations and use complete course of meditation...
Next Steps
coming to exercise just lifting weights will not gain weight here you need to understand that if you do physical activity for any muscle in your body it will get tone or definition but not weight..
if you want to gain weight so you need to balance your diet with workouts..
second thing diet is also plays an important role in
gaining weight so concentrate on calories which you are burning while doing workouts and amount of calories you are taking daily..
Health Tips
please consult a dietician before starting the diet and consult a gastroenterologists for your digestive problem..
and always do your exercises under certified trainer supervision...

You need to monitor your diet too along with proper specific exercises for toning your muscles and improving muscle strength and endurance.
Gastritis results in a lot of malabsorption of vital nutrients and vitamins from food, which might be a reason of inability to gain healthy weight. Check for Vitamin deficiencies.
Next Steps
Consult a dietician for a proper diet plan. Seek assessment and exercise prescription from a Physiotherapist for targetted solutions.

Kindly consult ur ENT doctor for the tinnitus and don’t worry or panic with respect to ur body not gaining and don’t think that calf muscle will be hanging ur in a illusion mode . Losing weight is a good concern but this is due to ur fear . Please don’t think that if you do dumbbell u will gain weight who told u this If u have further fear kindly do visit a nearby psychologist please .
