Ans: Weight gain should be targeted as increase in lean mass.
Start with regular strengthening exercises daily and ensure a good protein intake for muscle build-up. This will help gradually increase your weight.
Have a balanced diet with a good balance of macro and micro nutrients.
Eating excess carbohydrate or high fat foods will only increase fat percentage.
If you are an ectomorph whose metabolic rates are very high, you will need to plan your activities with more focus on weight training and less on cardio.
