See below: You do not want to change your weight "fast", it is safer to do so gradually. But if you want to increase your weight you need to consume more calories than you burn. Don't choose junk food, make sure you're getting all your necessary nutrients. Weight lifting and similar exercises can help you increase your muscle mass.

Slow is better: Eat foods that are high in calories. Eat 6 meals /day. Work on strength training to build large muscle groups. Work out w heavier weights w fewer repetitions. Sleep at least 8 to 9 hrs/night. Hydrate well w water. Foods to help w healthy weight gain: almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, hummus, Avocadoes, granola, trail mix, dried fruits, extra virgin olive oil,
