HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

BMI stands for body mass index, it is used to determine if a persons weight is too little, normal or too much for their height.

It is calculated using the weight and the height.

The normal BMI is 18 to 24.9. Your BMI based on the values given is 18.6 which is only just into the normal range.

If you wish to increase your size you can consider the following: (1) strength training to increase muscle mass

(2)weight gain by increasing the portions of food used, increasing the frequency of meals by using snacks, using high calorie foods

I hope this helps
