Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are losing weight and you are taking supplements and even then you are not gaining weight. Your history is incomplete. I need to know a detailed history before I can suggest you any remedy.

Symptoms related to the above-mentioned diseases are:
I would request you to kindly share your detailed history so that I can reach a differential diagnosis and suggest you measures to gain weight.Other than this, eat well and eat on time. Banana promotes weight gain and also drink adequate water.
