Hello! I suggest to eat a diet with proteins and full of carbohydrates:such as patatoe, rice, bread, spaghetti. This will help him gain weight. Don't forget to include in the diet good fats that comes from: fish, avocado, nuts, different kind of seeds. Carbohydrates have a lot of calories.
Best regards.
