Eat more calories: First you should see the doctor and determine if the weight is a concern or not. If it is not a concern then you not want to do anything. If it is a concern, then there should be an evaluation to determine the cause. The treatment might depend on the cause. In general, eating more calories leads to weight gain in almost all cases.
