My bmi is 19.7(normal healthy),but i still want to gain weight...i tried hard,but not increased much..what to do ..plz suggest?

Stay the same: 19 is a good BMI to have. Maintain it with a healthy lifestyle without attempts to put on weight in the form of fat. Eat a balanced diet matched to your activity and consider resistance training to increase muscle mass.
