Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Please get your CBC (complete blood count) and RBS (random blood sugar) with total protein. Start taking a high protein diet, and initiate mild exercise. To increase weight healthily, focus on calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, nut butter, cheese, whole milk, yogurt, lean meats, oily fish, whole-grain bread and cereals, dried fruits, and healthy fats like olive oil and coconut oil. Incorporating these foods into your meals and snacks can help you gradually consume more calories and gain weight. Additionally, eat more frequent, smaller meals throughout the day to increase calorie intake. I will advise you further after seeing the reports.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
