hi;
since you are 23 yrs your height will increase then you will gain weight also.At 180 cms your weight of 65 kgs is with in the medically acceptable limits.Just if you want to put up a few kilos please don't drink alcohol.And if you are pure vegetarian by religion or you don't want to have non-veg please don't have as it is not compulsory.Try to increase protein in your diet so can have soya bean if veg & egg ;fish;chicken;meat if non-veg.Also one more thing if you have very high appetite & don't gain weight inspite of eating more you can get thyroid checked.But still i feel no need to bother .
thanks
