Hi and thanks for this query.

Your weight is clearly below the accepted lower limit. Your ideal weight should be 57kg. With you having a constantly low hemoglobin, there is an underlying medical condition that needs to be investigated and managed adequately. This is probably the reason why your weight is suboptimal. I recommend you get evaluated for this. Food alone would not solve the problem.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
