Question

for the longest time i’ve been trying to gain weight and it’s just been hard any suggestions on how i should gain healthy weight at my age (16)

Answer

You could start lifting heavy and obviously eat enough to promote muscle growth

Answer

I’m 5 even as well, but about 7 years older. 
When I was 18, I was in the mid to high 90s and dropped significantly after high school.You’re completely fine, promise.

Answer

do you feel healthy? at 16 i weighed like 110 at 5"6. at 20 117 at 25 125 and now 175.... if you feel good and eat alright (at 16 no one eats great lol) you should be fine! but beware! your metabolism will eventually slow lol . oh on a side note if you do feel unhealthy then talk to your doctor because there are medical conditions that can cause you to be very under weight and not able to absorb what you need. (graves disease) hope you are just a typical teen lol good luck!

Answer

If you feel healthy that's all that matters. You could try toning and building exercises to build muscle and increase your protein consumption if you're really that concerned though. Just remember that it might be a slow process and don't give up hope <3

Answer

Your weight is fine. If you’re not happy with the way you look though, maybe consider doing weight training to tone up a bit? Chances are the issue is that your body weight is made up of fat instead of muscle and that’s fine that’s not bad, but if you build muscle you will stay at a healthy weight while looking fitter.

Answer

nope thats a normal weight for you. im 5 ft and 106. i have skinny fat and i want to keep the weight on so i am starting to lift light weights to help build my body and define it more. i stay in the 3 to 10 lbs. I changed my diet to eat more veggies and fruits. i might want to gain to build my a$$ lol but if feel like you need to lose anymore then find out your bmi. i think for a 5ft person the lowest you should go before you can be underweight is like 93. Think healthy dont drop weight fast and dont gain it fast it can damage your body in the long run. gradually add thing in your diet and workout routine to what you want.

Answer

lifting weights really helps. I'm the same way. never gained weight, I always weighed 97 lbs or less. I'm 21 now and I'm barely over 100 lbs. I eat more than most people my age or older. It's normal but the older you get the more you'll gain. You may not gain much but you'll gain it. I'm now 21 and at 117 Lbs. But For sure Lifting Helps A lot.
