Diet and muscle mass: First, we need to know how tall you are--if you are seriously underweight you should see a doctor first. In general, to gain weight you need to consume more calories than you burn. Do this in a healthy way. Make sure you get all of your essential nutrients in calorie-rich food. With weight training, you can increase your muscle mass. A doctor and nutritionist can help you with a specific plan.
