Your BMI is normal.

Detailed Answer:
As your BMI is within normal range you dont need to increase or decrease weight.For wellness it is necessary that you have sound health and enough energy to do your work without tiresome.To boost up energy it is necessary that wether you are getting right proportion of vitamins ,minerals ,carbohydrates ;protein and fats.
Increase complex carbohydrates ,protein in your diet in form of oats,flakes,brown rice and bread.Protein can be taken in form of milk,egg protein ,meat.Increase fruits and green vegetables in your diet.Complex carbohydrates help maintaining weight and good proportion of energy in body for long time so no need to crave for having food again and again in a day.
Do not let your stomach empty more than 3 hours.Divide your meal in 6 meal plans.For example if you are taking breakfastat 8.00am then have some fruit salad or vegetable salad after two hours and so on.In mid meal you can have sprouts,fruits,dry fruits especialy wallnuts etc.This meal plan will help you increase and mantain your wellness.
