you can include a banana milk shake or a chickoo milk shake with nuts daily. This itself will help you gain 1/2 a kg a week. Focus on eating protein rich foods such as eggs, soya , Chicken and fish (if non veg), dals, paneer, curd.
Make sure you eat at frequent intervals. Keep dates and nuts as snacks to have in between.
You can add resource high protein to your milk and consume it to help you get additional protein in your diet
