Brief Answer:
Regular physical exercises and good diet

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I understand from your description that you wish to gain weight. For this I would like to know your height and current weight for the amount to be gained.

The best way to gain weight would be through regular physical exercises along with good diet.

A good well balanced high calorie diet is your first step. One that helps in increasing your protein and fat intake. Our Dietitians here can help you with that. Just ask them to make you a weight gain diet chart and they will help you.

The second thing is exercise. A combination of Cardio exercise and focused muscle building is important, but you should concentrate in Cardio. Join a good gym or seek the help of a physical therapist and you will have the help you need to make an exercise plan that you can stick to.

Hope this helps. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
60-65 kg.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the details.

I have calculated your BMI from the details provided by you. It comes to 18.6. This is on the lower side of the Normal weight.

You can aim to gain 5 to 10 kg that would be 60 - 65 kg to come to mid of the normal range.

So, follow regular physical exercises as mentioned in my previous reply and ask the dietitian for a diet chart to gain weight.

Hope this answers your query. If you have no further clarifications, you can close and rate the query.
