Might i ask why you are tying to gain weight?
If you feel you are underweight and it is affecting your health see your doctor who may be able to diagnose the problem,several conditions can lead to an inability to gain weight, and these should be checked by the doctor. It probably isnt serious but being dangerously underweight is just as bad as being overweight and your doctor can either advise a diet or sort out the root problem so that you can eat normal food and stay at your ideal weight. Remember that weight isnt the key issue, its your weight to height ration. For example im 6ft3 tall, if i were to weight the same as you i would be seriously underweight and very at risk. Same as if you weighed the same as me (as im taller) you'd be overweight. So my advice is ask the doctor. He knows your medical history and roughly what your ideal weight should be.
I have been to a doctor, and everything is fine with me. My problem is I fail to stick to a quality diet. I consume a lot of fast food and soft drinks. I have been told to stick to healthy food, but we don't have really good doctors here and healthy food is a very broad category. My height to weight ratio is not impressive. My major problem is I am very choosy about my food, and that leads to me going hungry on days i don't like whats cooked in the house(I live with my parents). However, I have decided its time to do something about my weight and thus I am looking for advise from people who have been in a position like me and have managed to gain weight to come forward and tell me how did they manage that.

Try this website Gaining weight could mean many things. What you may want to do is actually exercise and eat more.
If you're trying to gain muscle mass then eat lots of protien. Don't bother with those body-building weight gain powders as they are mostly powdered milk and eggs sold to you at a high price. Just get real milk and eggs, soya, fish, meat and if you're hitting the weights at the same time then you should see yourself build some bulk and strength as well.
When you are at the gym, don't try training on fancy, muscle isolating machines. Stick with basic movements like bench press bar rows and squats. Literally dont do anything else. Then you should gain weight. Protein is the most important building block for muscle but don't neglect your other nutrients. I recommend in particular, reading about amino acids. I know staying on a consistent diet is hard to do, but finding a few simple, quality meals to prepare when the family decides to eat eggplant soup is the most important thing to do. There are a few sources of protein and you'll eventually discover that not all protein is created equal. Protein from animals is usually the easiest source, but the experts say that whey protein is the best for you. As for exercising, I agree with Diffuser's suggestion to stick to basic movement type exercises. In addition to keeping the exercise simple, mass building exercises tend to have fewer repetitions with heavier weights. When I hired a personal trainer to help me with this problem, he suggested using a weight that is heavy enough, that when I tried to do three sets of 10 repetitions with the weight, I would fail on the third set at about the eighth count. Be careful to warm up your muscles before starting these exercises and don't be macho and use too much weight. Exercise a little bit everyday and develop a rotation of exercises so you can hit all the major muscle groups at least three times a week and all the muscle groups get a day to recover in between. Good luck, let us know how it is coming along.
