Suggest Remedies To Gain Weight

Hello. I have question regarding my metabolism. I have trouble gaining weight. my weight fluctuate very much. Like 1-4lbs within 3 days or so. I can eat anything (fatty food) and do not gain weight. However, I have been doing few minutes cardio (warm up) and an hour to 70 minutes of weight lifting (with rest periods). According to daily recommended protein intake for weight gain, I tried adding protein powder to my diet. But for some reason I am not able to digest that. I mean, I have to run to rest room within an hour or so after drinking that protein shake. Dont know what is the issue? I have tried adding more food rich in protein, but results its tough to fill the required amount. What would you recommend? What could be wrong with my GIT? I have tried different brands (no help) I drink adequate water too. I eat pretty healthy though.
