Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are definitely under weight, according to you height weight should be in between 55 to 65 kg before you take any thing first go for proper medical check up by a Physician,to rule out any disorder or hidden disease like TB.
There are some tests like CBC, Urine , Stool test R&M, FBS,Lipid Profile, T3, T4, TSH, X ray chest and Ultrasonography of abdomen.
We must rule out mal absorption states.
If every thing is fine then high protein and high calories diet may be planned nutrition supplements and proper exercise and weight training may be planned to gain weight if it is necessary even anabolic steroids can be used with consultation of Physician.
Please do not take supplements by your self .
Take good care of yourself.
Good Luck

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can try the nutrigram to assist you with the weight gain.
In addition you can try to increase the caloric value of the food that you use by adding dressings, mayonaise or small amounts of butter.
You can increase the frequency of your meals by adding snacks in between. High calorie snacks such as nuts would be good.
Hope this helps

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for your query.
Nutrigain is a good product and is generally considered to be a healthy alternative targeting weight gain.
Although it is sold in the form of capsules and powder, I would advise the powder, mixed with water or milk (according to your preference) and consumed once a day. The average 2 tsp per glass should do the job.
Be patient and also try to include lots of vegetables and a little meat (if you are a non-vegetarian) in your diet instead of purely fatty food to try to gain weight.
I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to us anytime for further clarifications.
Best wishes.
