Not able to gain weight
I'm 5 feet short girl, and my weight is just 39 it fluctuates between 38-40.. I am thin. I want to gain weight, more muscle. I tried dietitian's diet, strength training with that, no result. I have a friend with same issues but now she has gained a lot of muscle she doesn't look obese but not thin atleast. She told me she took some injections, her mom is a doctor. She also offered me to visit her mom regarding that, said it's safe. But I'm having second thoughts, is it safe? Pls guide me. I really want to gain weight but I want to be healthy and live longer. If whatever the injection is worked on her, can work for me too? Also she is her mom who gave her the injection, we always trust moms! I want to know more about it. I'm also afraid to ask this question to my GP whom I visit every time I sick. So I'm seeking guide from you all, doctors. Help pls

Are your other family members also thin? Calculate your BMI I.e., weight in kg ÷ height in meter square.
If it is between 18to 25 you have normal weight. If less , take more of carbohydrates and proteins in your diet, take fresh fruits and vegetables, do regular exercise and take adequate rest.
