Hi,
According to your height and weight, the BMI(body mass index) is 17.3 which means you are underweight. The most common causes for being underweight in your age group is stress, anxiety and improper eating habits. However, there are many other causes that need to be ruled out. A complete body check up sponsored by few labs may not include all the possible investigations that can exclude the cause of being underweight. Causes like Anemia, Hyperthyroidism, depression, malabsorption disorders, some chronic infections have to be excluded by doing relevant investigations based on the suspicion of probable cause by doing a physical examination
Coming to your ulcer problem, which is one of the rare but possible cause of you being underweight has already been treated by your doctor with appropriate drug like Adiza which contains Ilaprazole, a proton pump inhibitor helps in decreasing acid secretion and inturn in ulcer healing. Please do a follow up with your doctor whether it completely got resolved by undergoing an upper GI endoscopy.
Also, take protein XXXXXXX diet by following advice from a dietician.
Hope this helps!
