Hard to say: He is short and underweight for his height by any standard. Whether this is from a treatable medical condition, poor eating habits, lack of exercise or a combination of several factors is unknown. A thorough evaluation by his doctor would be a good way to start finding out. Just exercising more may worsen his condition.
