You can also try small meals or substantial snacks between meals. Something nutrition and protein heavy. I can't eat a whole lot at one meal usually, but fruit, cheese, and crackers or a yogurt between meals add up.
And I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm 27, 5'0", and 100 lbs on a good day. If I had a dollar for every time someone said "it must be nice" to not gain weight or to be my size, I could probably pay off my student loans.1 -

FIFY.
You don't gain weight by eating carbs. You gain weight by eating more calories than you're expending.4 -

Carbs have 4 calories per gram.
Proteins have 4 calories per gram.
Fats have 9 calories per gram.
Why would carbs be any more efficacious for weight gain than protein or fat?4 -
Carbs, etc, etc.3
