Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Your weight's upper bracket is around 155kg. Your current BMI is 16.2 which means severe thinness. Two things i would like to know. First, since when you have decreased weight? Second, are you on any kind of medication? If your weight has decreased recently then you need to consult hospital. There are some diseases which also decrease weight.
To increase weight you need to take care of two things:
>first, your daily calories intake should be greater than the required at that specific age.
>Second, eat food rich in calories. e.g chocolates & fast food.
Take Care.
