Detailed Answer:
Hi!
1. I request you to get a thyroid profile done. If you have performed any blood tests, you can mention them too. Weight gain, and how to achieve it is a common question. Overactivity of thyroid, can cause weight loss.
2. I suggest that you eat more rice or carbohydrates, over proteins, such as meats and chicken. I suggest that you try more fat containing pulses, such as Soya beans. This leads to more weight gain than a diet rich in only proteins and wheat based foods.
3. Mention to me if you are taking any medications. This is important. Some medicines can indeed cause a weight loss. Just as some medicines can cause weight gain.
Write back to me and I will guide you well.
Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
