Hello there.
I calculated your BMI and it comes just under 17.
22 would be a ideal BMI goal.
Have a high protein diet with consisting eggs and pulses, have atleast 5 meals a day.1 glass of milk every night before you sleep.
Hit the gym and build muscle mass by weight training.
Consult a dietician for your detailed diet chart.
