Hi! Welcome. How does your current diet looks like? I managed to gain a few kgs when I was in your position by just doing simple tweaks on my diet.

Eat more.

Basically you gotta eat more than what you're burning. It's that simple.

Use this to calculate > https://tdeecalculator.net/

Then start eating more especially calorie densed food.

thank u for ur reply!

it says i need 1,817 calories per day, how do i calculate/add up my food intake to know my calories needed?

All foods have nutrition facts at the back of the packaging.



Example above. One serving size = 1 cookie = 110 calories.

Add up all the foods together in a day. Must be 500 extra than your current calories which is 2,317 calories then you'll gain weight.

Google also can check nutrition facts for many types of food.

I wonder what are the kind of diseases that can hinder weight gain or make it so easily to lose weight?

high metabolism

your body type is ectomorph, same like me

our metabolism are high, so whatever we eat are burned without storing where it should be.

search some tips online about ectomorph, u cant workout like other ppl.

eating more rice does the trick for me

You should join a gym. You also need to incorporate protein shakes in your diet. If you don't have the resources, then don't worry. Eat as much as protein in the form of meat as you can especially chicken breasts. Also eat rice and see a doctor if its not working.
