Hi,
I understand your concern for your wife and her health. As her weight is less it is important to analyse the cause of what is causing her to be disinterested in eating food. Checking of nutritional deficiencies is also important as they can also lead to decreased appetite. I suggest you connect with us for a personalized diet session for your wife as it will help us in understanding her routine, lifestyle, eating habits, sleep, stress, medical conditions if any, medication, etc in detail and allow us to guide you more accurately instead of generalised guidelines.
As a start you can focus on the following guidelines for her -
1. Ensure she has balanced meal with carbohydrates, proteins and fiber
2. Incorporate protein rich food in every meal such as dals, pulses, dairy, non-veg, etc
3. As she is not taking timely meals and eat less you can focus on calorically dense foods such as milkshakes, lassi, paneer sandwich or rolls, nuts and dried fruits Laddoo, etc.
4. A glass of milk at bedtime
5. Ensure she does some strength training exercises as they will help in weight gain
6. Water intake to be 8-10 glasses throughout the day
As said finding the cause of low appetite and then designing a diet for her would be more appropriate

As your wife is on the under weight category it is suggested to check for few vitals to rule out few defeciencies which I can discuss when you connect online with me
Next Steps
Continue adding good protein sources in her diet such as whole Pulses, sprouts, milk and products, BEANS eggs lean meat and fish with fresh fruits and vegetables to supply iron and other vitamins and minerals.
Health Tips
kindly give due attention to the cooking utensils used for cooking such as pans, girdles tawa, etc,try and use other metal such as iron( cast iron) to increase iron content
