Hi,
Never never take any steroid to increase weight.
Due to retention of salts and fluids in the body might give increase in weight but this is not natural and not advisable as well.
Steroids has got its own complications and produces moon face in future.
Take some appetite increasing medicine like Cyproheptadine after consulting your doctor.
Take more protein, moderate fat and carbohydrates in diet.
Take cheese, panier, sweets, milk, cereals, eggs,
Take some B.complex and multivitamin supplements.
Ok and take care.
