Hello,
Your body mass index is in healthy weight range. If you want to gain weight I suggest you to Eat more often, stop smoking, sleep well, use bigger plates, add cream to your coffee, exercise, eat healthy food rich in protein. Do not use any medication. If you don't gain weight check the thyroid gland function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
