Coconut oil is amazing!! You can buy it at the grocery store really cheap. If you mix it with sugar until its pasty and rub it on your skin for 10 mins it'll make your stretch marks disappear. I've been doing it for about two weeks now and mine are almost gone.

Try to gain weight gradually.
There's things that can help but really no magic cure.

Please do Google red light therapy because it helps with multiple things not just stretch marks. Physiotherapists use it to reduce pain and swelling in patients who suffer from chronic pain in body parts like knees, or shoulders. I swear it's been my saving grace through this pregnancy.

Full body red light therapy is offered at tanning salons... But it does NOT tan you. It has nothing to do with tanning at all.. They just use tanning beds with red light therapy bulbs so you can get full body therapy instead of singular area therapy like they offer at medical offices.  I pay 20 dollars a month (in Canada) for unlimited usage. I can go for a 20 minute session every single day if I like. It has helped me SO much. It even take the sting out of your skin while it is stretching to accommodate your baby.

Stretch marks are hereditary, but they do fade a lot after pregnancy. Having tan skin will take away from the appearance of stretch marks but personally it's not for me. For now just do everything you can to stay moisturized but sadly there is nothing you can apply topically to make them go away. It has to do with layers of skin beneath the surface

I tried everything and I swear if they are coming they will show up but I never heard of the red light thing I would try it!

Look up red light therapy. Most tanning salons offer it... It is amazing for stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles.
