Resolving amenorrhea?

Hey all,
So I've not had a period for 8 months now and I'm pretty sure it's because of the amount of exercise I do vs body fat % and weight. I'm 114lbs, 165cm tall and exercise (run/ swim/ 30DS etc) 6 days a week.
I need to put on a bit of weight but I'm struggling with the concept of that and I would like to have some kind of time frame or goal in my head so I know what I'm aiming for. If I eat more, what should I eat and how long before my periods come back? I'd like to hear from people who have also been through this and see what worked for them if possible.
Thankyou xx
