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.
