Hello,
A low BMI means you are not getting enough nutrients and energy in your diet.Such a deficient diet can lead to problems like low functioning immune system,hormone disregulation,anemia,low bone density,heart problems etc.
You must consult a nutritionist for a proper diet regime for you and before that you should consult a doctor to rule out diseases like hyperthyroidism and diabetes.
Thanks
