Multifactorial: At 21 if you are active gaining weight is difficult for some. Use a basal body expenditure calculator and be very generous on your level of activity. If you count calories closely along with subtracting calories burned per day you should gain a pound for every 3500 calories in excess. Medical reasons for difficulty gaining weight are exceedingly rare if you are generally healthy.
