how much food do you eat? the only way to gain weight is to eat consistently more calories then you burn.

I'd suggest weigh all your food and record exactly what you eat on MFP start with your maintenance calories as calculated by MFP , then add 200 extra calories. eat this amount every day without fail for 1 months. if you aren't gaining weight add an extra 200 calories and then repeat. once you are eating enough to be gaining weight at a healthy rate (about 1lb a week.) keep eating at this level.

also being on a good strength training program will help to convert all of those calories to muscle rather then fat
