Hi dear, Hope you are fine.
You need to consult Dietitian .She will help you to gain weight. You need high calorie and high protein diet. Diet should be healthy but high calorie. Don't go for junk food and processed food . Have whole grain cereals , whole pulses, whole milk, nuts, fruits, tubers ,vegetables and if you are von-vegetarian go for eggs, fish, chicken, lean meat for proteins. You need high calorie and high protein supplements before taking supplement consult with dietitian ,she will recommend the amount what you need,which will help you to gain weight.
Hope I have answered your query.
Best wishes
