Hi,

Decadron is steroids and is never advised for weight gain as it has a number of serious side effects. So it's very risky to use it for weight gain.

Your weight is not very low. With this hight and weight, your BMI is over 19 which is in a normal range. So you don't need to worry about that.

If you are losing weight, then talk to your doctor for some tests and proper evaluation if there is any disease that is causing you to lose weight. However, taking a steroid for weight gain is quite dangerous and never recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
