A medical assessment will be needed in order to make sure there are no medical/ eating disorders contributing to your failure to thrive. Exercise and a liberal diet remain critical otherwise.

Need more information. How much do you weight? How tall are you? Being skinny is not a disease. If you are otherwise healthy, you need not worry. Overeating is not healthy. With increasing age you will gain weight and look back at this time when you could eat and not get fat.
