Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM
Everyone of us have different tipe of metabolism. In your age is normal to be thin. But if you have to increase your weight you have to start an physical activity.
Making an regular physical activity each day or at least 3 time a week not only will increase your muscles mass but will increase even your appetite.
So start an physical activity with an personal Trainer wich will guide you to eat in a healthy way.
Hope this information will help you
Best regards
