Detail follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Since you don't have any medical issues, it seems that you have this height as constitutional as your parents height is also like that only.
Height increases till a age, then it stops increasing as the end of long bones fuse by this time (As you are 25 years old, your long bones end must have fused by now).
If you don't have any medical problems, i would not suggest you any medicine for that. Some people try hormones, but trust me interfering with hormones of your body can be serious.
Since you have no problems, you can just get your thyroid test done, however its unlikely to be a cause.
Stay away from Newspaper & TV advertisements claiming to increase your height
Remember
"Stature doesn't make difference, Acts does."
As far as weight gain is concerned, increase carbohydrate and proteins in diet.
Increase milk and milk products in diet.

Hello.
Start taking good diet. Take soybean, paneer, pulses, egg white in diet.
If you don't feel hungry you may discuss with your doctor about prescribing Syrups that increase the appetite like Apitvate syrup. In fact they are available on the counter.
