    First I would start by plugging in your stats on here and set it to gain about 0.5lb per week. Keep in mind this doesn't include exercise calories so you will have to add extra for that. Alternatively, if you already know your maintenance cals just add 250 cals per day to that.

    I recommend to also follow a progressive lifting program and get adequate macros (especially protein) if you want some of that weight gain to be muscle.

    In terms of what to eat... if you are having problems getting your cals in, focus on eating your favourite foods, increase portions, eat more calorie dense foods like full fat dairy, nuts/nut butters, oils, bananas, mangos, dried fruit, granola, bagels, pasta, ice cream, high fat meats, etc. And I would recommend tracking your cals on here to make sure you are eating enough and not falling behind.

    Wow! A question though, how much time did it took you to gain that much weight. Thanks <3
