Generally speaking, to lose weight calorie intake must be less than you burn with activity, and to gain weight you must take in more calories than you burn.  This situation (being underweight and pregnant) is about the only time women have to work to get more calories, but to do so, find foods you like and eat a lot of them.  Sometimes pregnant women lose their appetite, so this will be a very individualized thing.  High-carb foods will add weight but you do have to be careful about refined carbs like sugar due to the risk of diabetes.  Talk to your doctor for a sensible weight-gain approach.
