Hii...
You should test like thyroid, IBS, sugar level
If all reports are normal then you take frequent and small meal in which you have to include carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamin and minerals... According to your height and weight calorie will be calculated for weight gain by a dietitian... And light exercise also beneficial with balanced diet....
If your report is not normal then you should meet from physician after that dietitian.
