HI
Well come to HCM
Just do nothing to increase the weight because you are just 18 years of age still you have enough of time for physiologically to increase the weight, instead you can concentrate on exercise, that would be more benefitted to you, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
