Hello,
Weight gain is a gradual process and it needs a lot of personalized dietary approaches. Drastic changes, working out excessively will only give short term results. Improving your overall food intake and regularity in physical activity mainly weight bearing exercises will help you in putting on weight. It is also important to understand that there are a lot of other factors also which make it difficult to gain weight. A personalized diet session is highly recommended for you as it takes into account your routine, lifestyle, stress, eating habits, medical condition if any, medications, height, weight, etc. This helps in identifying the gap areas & correcting them accordingly.
As a start following guidelines can be helpful -
1. Never skip meal & eat balanced meals
2. Include calorically dense fruits & vegetables in the diet such as banana, custard apple, chickoo, mango, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, etc.
3. Include healthy fats in the form of nuts & oilseeds
4. Strength training exercises will help in improving the muscle and your weight on scale
5. Avoid sweets, fried foods, fruit juices, junk food as it increases body fat even though you may look lean & thin
6. Stay well hydrated
