Eat more: Seriously! gaining weight is opposite of losing it eg energy surplus vs deficit. Body builders, athletes, even actors who need to gain muscle can eat upwards of 10, 000kcal/d. Of course, you want to exercise, too, as getting fat for the sake of not being skinny isn't healthy. But before you pick up a fork, check out http://www.Cdc.Gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/ to determine right weight for heigh.
