    First and foremost, you have to gain weight healthily. This means... NOT binging on fries + chips + sodas...

    Overall, at your frame, you're burning about 2200 calories a day (obviously, I don't know your lifestyle... your daily routine... exercise routine.. etc. so I'm estimating).

    In order to gain weight, you just have to eat more than 2200 calories a day. This includes eating regularly (every 3 - 4 hours) and just eating "healthy fatty foods" such as:

    Legumes
    Nuts
    Peanut butter
    Meat
    Turkey
    Chicken
    Pasta

    etc. Be sure to keep a regular eating schedule... don't overstuff yourself. Also, try to maintain a moderate exercise routine... as muscle weighs more than fat.

    Best wishes.
