For vegetarian protein, try Eggs, dairy (especially higher protein yoghurts, Quark etc, also milk and cheeses), WPI or plant based protein powders, tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans/lentils, quinoa.
You'll also get some from vegetables and nuts.

To gain weight, you need to be in a calorie surplus. So that you don't just put on fat, a progressive lifting program will also be beneficial - this will enable you to put on some of the weight as muscle.

I put soy protien powder in a lot of drinks. I also put beans or lentils in whatever dishes I can think of.
