Kindly suggest a diet and exercise plan to support healthy weight gain.
Hello doctor,
This quarantine season caused me to lose weight from 105 lbs to 97 lbs in three months. I am already underweight. My height is 5.4 feet, and weight is 97 lbs. My BMI is 16.2. I had my thyroid hormone levels checked and it is within the normal range. Blood sugar levels are also normal. I think my weight loss was primarily due to stress since I tended to skip meals and not enjoy my food.
I am trying to eat on time. I want to ask for your diet and exercise recommendations, so I can healthily gain weight. I am taking vitamin supplements now.

I lost 50 pounds of my weight without following strict diet. How do I maintain my weight?
Hi doctor,
I just found out most people regain their weight after weight loss mostly because of the weight set point and everything and I am really terrified that is going to happen to me. I do not know what to do. So I have lost 50 lbs in nine months pretty easily. Sometimes, I eat under 500 calories, other times over 2000 (and still lost weight fast) or at maintenance or at the healthy markers depending on the periods. So I have not exactly done it slowly or the right way. Basically what I want to know is can I keep my current weight and no regain even if I lost my weight as I did? If yes, how? And if yes, how long do I need to wait until I can lose weight again (still have 30 lbs to go)? Or can I continue now?
I am a 19-year-old female with sw: 215 lbs, cw:161 lbs and height: 5.8 feet.

How can the daily sugar intake be calculated?
Hi doctor,
I would like to ask about daily sugar intake. Does sugar like fructose, lactose found naturally in milk and fruits count towards the daily sugar intake? I mean if I eat an apple that contains 0.36 oz of sugar and then drink a coffee with 0.18 oz grams sugar in it, does it mean that there is 0.5 oz of sugar in my body or only 0.18 oz of sugar and it means that I can eat 1 oz more to reach my daily limit of 1.25 oz?
