I eat a lot but don't gain weight. What seems to be the problem? I need to gain weight.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
How long have you been struggling with your weight issue? Have you been underweight most of your life or is this a new problem? Anybody in your family also struggling with their weight? Have you had any recent severe illness that was associated with significant weight loss? Have you undergone any investigations (blood tests, imaging) for possible causes of low weight, such as thyroid gland tests (hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid gland) or intestinal malabsorption tests?
