Yeah doing some weightlifting is a great idea but you basically need to eat more. You can argue that you eat "enough" all you want but the fact is, the amount you eat now clearly gets you to the weight you are now. If you want to weigh more than that, eat more than that.

Concrete advice: spend the next week/2 weeks keeping track of everything you eat. Literally carry a notebook around and write down what you eat each day. Sounds spergy and over the top but actually do it honestly.

Then you could show that to a nutritionist/one of the nutrition threads around here. Or, just add like 500 calories a day. Carry on keeping track for a couple of weeks to make sure you're actually adding that on top of what you were eating before.

There's loads of good calorie dense foods. Make big casseroles and eat them through the week. Peanut butter. Protein shakes. But the most important point is that to make a significant change in your weight you have to make a significant change in your habit. So first keep track of what you're doing at the moment, then change it. ^^^Yeah, people are bad at self-report. You are in the habit of eating however much you eat at the moment. If you don't approach this in a structured way you'll revert to your current habits - have a protein shake, feel full, skip a snack you'd normally have and not actually end up increasing calorie input (while convinced that doctors are idiots, you have protein shakes and everything, it's clearly just impossible to put on weight)
