Track calories. Find out how much you're eating. Increase how much you're eating by 100-200 kcal per day per week. If you're eating 2100, eat 2300 per day for a week, and then next week kick it up a bit more. Until the scale starts moving up or you eat an uncomfortable amount. Depending on your activity level, your TDEE could be pretty drat high. Suddenly jumping into some extreme is probably a bad idea because your body isn't used to it. You want to gain weight fairly slowly, something like no more than 4lbs per month if you start lifting.


If you have no negative health indicators you might have a small bone structure or something for your height. That's fine, but you could still gain a bit of weight and look decent. While your BMI might be alarming, it's somewhat unlikely you're wasting away given your activity level and how long you've been at that weight. BMI assumes average structure, and people on either extreme are going to be misled by it.
