Hello my height is 155 cm and my weight is 37kg I am 14 years old can I gain more cm and my weight is it normal?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
You are certainly very much underweight as your weight is on the 3rd percentile for your age and gender, and your body mass index (BMI, calculated by dividing the weight in kg by the squared value of the height in meters) is 15.4 when it should be at least 17. Do you have any chronic medical condition whereby you get sick frequently or are you otherwise healthy? Is your menstrual period regular? Do you eat regular nutritious meals or are you obsessed with dieting? Have you ever had blood tests to assess your thyroid gland function? A thorough evaluation is required in your case and there is no one answer that can be provided through this platform.
