It depends: This all depends on your metabolism, how many calories you take in, how many calories you expend. Weight gain/loss can also be affected by side effects of haart medications, as some cause diarrhea and I am not sure if you are taking any of those. Talking with your doctor would be important to determine whether nutritional supplements, like ensure, or medications to stimulate weight gain may help.
