First of all, if you think gaining or losing weight is not real, or it depends on your parent's genes then throw this myth away from your mind and come out in the real world.  
People who require regular change in their body shape such as film stars,actors, and actress. They need to regularly change their body shape according to different scenes. Sometimes they appear fat, sometimes skinny or sometimes in a perfect body shape. The same person in different body shape. But How? What's the secret. 
The secret is that It mostly depends on your consistency for achieving your goal. I mean how long you can maintain your habit for a fit body. Your regular diet, exercise, food timing, etc. Therefore, here I am going to share tips which will surely help you gain weight fast and naturally. You may see changes after 5-6 days.

Let's start in detail:

1. Eat More Calories Than Your Body Burns. 

The most important thing you can do to gain weight is to create a calorie surplus, meaning you eat more calories than your body needs.
You can determine your calorie needs using calorie calculator. If you want to gain weight slowly and steadily, aim for 300–500 calories more than you burn each day according to the calculator. 
If you want to gain weight fast, aim for around 700–1,000 calories above your maintenance level. Keep in mind that calorie calculators only provide estimates. Your needs may vary by several hundred calories per day, give or take.
You don't need to count calories for the rest of your life, but it helps to do it for the first few days or weeks to get a feel for how many calories you’re eating. There are many great tools out there to help you.

2. Eat Plenty of Protein.
The single most important nutrient for gaining healthy weight is protein. Muscle is made of protein and without it most of those extra calories may end up as body fat. Studies show that during periods of overfeeding, a  high-protein diet causes many of the extra calories to be turned into muscle . 
However, keep in mind that protein is a double-edged sword. It’s also highly filling, which may reduce your hunger and appetite significantly, making it harder to get in enough calories . 
If you're trying to gain weight, aim for 0.7–1 grams of protein per pound of body weight (1.5–2.2 grams of protein per kilogram). You can even go above that if your calorie intake is very high.High-protein foods include meats, fish, eggs, many dairy products, legumes, nuts and others. Protein supplements like whey protein can also be useful if you struggle to get enough protein in your diet.

3. Fill up on Plenty of Carbs and Fat and Eat at Least 3 Times per Day.
Many people try restricting either carbs or fat when trying to lose weight.This is a bad idea if your goal is to gain weight, as it will make it harder to get in enough calories.Eat plenty of high-carb and high-fat foods if weight gain is a priority for you. It is best to eat plenty of protein, fat and carbs at each meal. 
It is also a bad idea to do intermittent fasting. This is useful for weight loss and health improvement but can make it much harder to eat enough calories to gain weight.Make sure to eat at least three meals per day and try to add in energy-dense snacks whenever possible.

4. Eat Energy-Dense Foods and Use Sauces, Spices and Condiments.

Again, it’s very important to eat mostly whole, single-ingredient foods. The problem is that these foods tend to be more filling than processed junk foods, making it harder to get in enough calories. Using plenty of spices, sauces and condiments can help with this. The tastier your food is, the easier it is to eat a lot of it.
Also, try to emphasize energy-dense foods as much as possible. These are foods that contain many calories relative to their weight.
Here are some energy-dense foods that are perfect for gaining weight:
  • Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc.
  • Dried fruit: Raisins, dates, prunes and others.
  • High-fat dairy: Whole milk, full-fat yogurt, cheese, cream.
  • Fats and oils: Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil.
  • Grains: Whole grains like oats and brown rice.
  • Meat: Chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc. Choose fattier cuts.
  • Tubers: Potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams.
  • Dark chocolate, avocados, peanut butter, coconut milk, granola, trail mixes.
Many of these foods are very filling, and sometimes you may need to force yourself to keep eating even if you feel full.
It may be a good idea to avoid eating a ton of vegetables if gaining weight is a priority for you. It simply leaves less room for energy-dense foods.
Eating whole fruit is fine, but try to emphasize fruit that doesn't require too much chewing, such as bananas.

5. Lift Heavy Weights and Improve Your Strength.
To make sure that the excess calories go to your muscles instead of just your fat cells, it’s absolutely crucial to lift weights.
Go to a gym and lift 2–4 times per week. Lift heavy and try to increase the weights and volume over time.If you’re completely out of shape or new to training, consider hiring a qualified personal trainer to help you get started.
You may also want to consult with a doctor if you have skeletal problems or any medical issue.It’s probably best to take it easy on the cardio for now — focus mostly on the weights.
Doing some cardio is fine to improve fitness and well-being, but don't do so much that you end up burning all the additional calories you’re eating.

10 More Tips to Gain Weight.
Combining a high calorie intake with heavy strength training are the two most important factors.That being said, there are several other strategies to gain weight even faster.
Here are 10 more tips to gain weight:
1.   Don't drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories.
2.   Eat more often. Squeeze in an additional meal or snack whenever you can, such as before bed.
3.   Drink milk. Drinking whole milk to quench thirst is a simple way to get in more high-quality protein and calories.
4.   Try weight gainer shakes. If you’re really struggling then you can try weight gainer shakes. These are very high in protein, carbs and calories.
5.   Use bigger plates. Definitely use large plates if you’re trying to get in more calories, as smaller plates cause people to automatically eat less.
6.   Add cream to your coffee. This is a simple way to add in more calories.
7.   Take creatine. The muscle building supplement creatine monohydrate can help you gain a few pounds in muscle weight.
8.   Get quality sleep. Sleeping properly is very important for muscle growth.
9.   Eat your protein first and vegetables last. If you have a mix of foods on your plate, eat the calorie-dense and protein-rich foods first. Eat the vegetables last.
10. Don't smoke. Smokers tend to weigh less than non-smokers, and quitting smoking often leads to weight gain.
What Does Underweight Really Mean To You?
1. You may compare yourself with elders, friends or any other person and think.
2. That you are underweight.
3. You may be underweight with your weight, and not with your appearance.
4. You may be underweight with your appearance and not with your weight.
5. You may use BMI or anything. 
Being underweight is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5. This is estimated to be less than the body mass needed to sustain optimal health. 
Conversely, over 25 are considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese
However, keep in mind that there are many problems with the BMI scale, which only looks at weight and height. It does not take muscle mass into account. Some people are naturally very skinny but still healthy. Being underweight according to this scale does not necessarily mean that you have a health problem.

Things Which Can Cause Someone to Become Underweight.
Here are several medical conditions that can cause unhealthy weight loss, including:
  • Eating disorders: This includes anorexia nervosa, a serious mental disorder.
  • Thyroid problems: Having an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can boost metabolism and cause unhealthy weight loss.
  • Celiac disease: The most severe form of gluten intolerance. Most people with celiac disease don't know that they have it.
  • Diabetes: Having uncontrolled diabetes (mainly type 1) can lead to severe weight loss.
  • Cancer: Cancerous tumors often burn large amounts of calories and can cause someone to lose a lot of weight.
  • Infections: Certain infections can cause someone to become severely underweight. This includes parasites, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
If you’re underweight, you may want to see a doctor to rule out any serious medical conditions. This is particularly important if you have recently started losing large amounts of weight without even trying.
Other modern reasons might be:
Anxiety, depression, excess of work, less eating or eating less than your body consumes.

What Are the Health Consequences of Being Underweight?
Obesity is currently one of the world's biggest health problems.
However, being underweight may be just as bad for your health. According to one study, being underweight was associated with a 140% greater risk of early death in men, and 100% in women. Not in normal conditions, but conditions like lack of blood, immunity power, etc. 
In comparison, obesity was associated with a 50% greater risk of early death, indicating that being underweight may be even worse for your health.Another study found an increased risk of early death in underweight men, but not women, suggesting that being underweight may be worse for men.  
Being underweight can also impair your immune function, raise your risk of infections, lead to osteoporosis and fractures and cause fertility problems.What’s more, people who are underweight are much more likely to get sarcopenia (age-related muscle wasting) and may be at greater risk of dementia.

Gaining Weight Can Be Difficult, and Consistency Is the Key to Long-Term Success.
It can be very difficult for some people to gain weight.That's because your body has a certain set point of weight where it feels comfortable.Whether you try to go under your set point (lose weight) or over it (gain weight), your body resists changes by regulating your hunger levels and metabolic rate. 
When you eat more calories and gain weight, you can expect your body to respond by reducing your appetite and boosting your metabolism.This is largely mediated by your brain, as well as weight-regulating hormones like leptin.  
So you should expect a certain level of difficulty. In some cases, you may need to force yourself to eat despite feeling stuffed.At the end of the day, changing your weight is a marathon, not a sprint. It can take a long time, and you need to be consistent if you want to succeed in the long run. 

Last Word.
It totally depends upon your consistency and not on your parents. If you are born poor, it’s not your mistake, but if you remain poor, it’s your mistake.The same rule applies here, If you are born skinny, it’s not your mistake, but if you remain skinny and you have problem with it, it’s your mistake.
