Increase calories: Calculate your total calorie intake. You will need to increase this above your current level to gain weight. You should also look at your protein sources and amount. With a vegetarian diet you will need multiple different protein sources to meet your needs.

Diet diary: Please keep a log of everything you eat for a week. Then discuss with your doctor. Often we are surprised but what we actually eat compared to what we think we eat.
