Hello,
Weight gain is a gradual process & it requires a lot of personalized dietary approaches. It is important for us to know your height, as there is age appropriate height & weight ratios. As you are in your growth years proper nutrition is crucial to support the growth. Monitoring the intake & also regular physical activity is important as even if wanting to gain weight it should be due to increase in lean muscle mass and not due to increase in fat mass. A personalized session is highly recommended for you as it takes into account your lifestyle, routine, eating habits, height, weight, etc. It helps in analyzing the gap areas & guiding you accordingly.

Dear first of all appropriate weight doesn’t depend on age, but height.. Secondly, eating too much won’t help you .. you need a calorie dense well nutritious diet so that it can aid in growth of your body besides increasing your weight as well.. You are in your teen age and good nutrition is the base of all your growth spurts..
Next Steps
