From the measurements you wrote, you are about 10lbs underweight for your height. Suggest you go to your MD and get blood work done to determine if you are deficient of any vitamins or minerals, and then you would have the proper supplement treatment if needed. Suggest eating 3 meals a day or 5-6 small meals a day. If your appetite wavers, then suggest drinking a nutrient dense drink, such as Ensure or milkshake (milk and ice cream blended) once a day for calories and protein. Thank you for your question.
