Low weight: Low weight such as yours may indicate underlying disease it can be due to decreased calorie intake such as anorexia, it maybe due to malabsorption like pancreatic disease or GI , it could be due to over active thyroid or untreated diabetes if all these are ruled out eating a well balanced diet for a projected weight gain may help.
