Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
From your description it appears that you are not gaining weight due to poor appetite.
Kindly take appetizer-digestive enzyme preparations available over-the-counter in pharmacy regularly.
Continue to eat good carbohydrate diet, moderate lipids and good amount of proteins in the diet.
Eat calorigenic fruits like apple and banana everyday at night.
Continue with your physical activity as scheduled.
Gradually, your appetite should increase and your weight also should increase. However, keep a check on your weight regularly so as not to put on too much weight.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
