Underweight
Hi I am 14 and I know I am underweight but I am struggling to gain weight, instead it is easier to lose a few kg. At the moment I am 167cm and weight 42.5kg so I have a BMI of around 15-16. Furthermore, I am size 2 and I can barely fit into a size 6 as I am too thin. I am having periods but I am flat chested. I'm unsure how to gain weight.
