If I understand correctly, you have always been underweight since childhood. However, to rule out any apprehensions, you must get a thyroid test done.
Some bodies are built in a certain way owing to genetic and family history. However, diet management and a healthy lifestyle can help.
Eating calorie dense foods thinking that it would lead to weight gain is not correct. You must:-
a) Set your metabolism levels right by following a strict dietary regime and setting your body clock right
b) Include foods that are nutrition as well as calorie dense
Next Steps
Include things like almond and banana shake in your diet, add dates to it. Add roasted sesame seeds to your vegetables. For more action points, you can contact me on direct consult or visit me to get a customised diet plan suiting your needs.
