HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Weight gain can be achieved by increasing the amount of calories you put into your body with food and drink.
It is important to remember that you are losing calories/energy with exercise. Strength training would help with building muscle mass but aerobic exercise would either cause weight loss or maintaining present weight.
If you can increase your calorie intake by increasing portion sizes and frequency of meals, this would be helpful.
I hope this helps
