Dear Gour Das, Thank You for the Question.
Toning of muscles, and body shaping requires specific exercise regimen followed by appropriate dietary changes, especially in terms of good quality proteins balanced with appropriate calories, which should be done under professional guidance. For specific exercise regimen please contact a fitness expert.
Supplements and Nutraceuticals can be included as apart of daily balanced diet, but the frequency and quantity of consumption must be followed under medical supervision and label instructions to avoid any negative implications. Excess and/or unsupervised intake of nutritional supplements is not considered safe for overall health. For further advice and assistance kindly contact a health care professional.
Adolescence or teen age is a critical period of our lives in which our body undergoes rapid changes, growth and development.

The causes of underweight or unintended weight loss can be due to genetics, inadequate food intake, stress, hormonal imbalance, malabsorption or other underlying health condition.
In any weight management programme, it is very essential to consume a healthy diversified balanced diet with few dietary modifications and regular physical activity.

With any weight gain diet, changes take time to reflect as your body requires sufficient time to adapt to the changes in order to show results.
A high calorie and high protein diet is recommended for weight gain. High protein foods give a feeling of satiety, delay gastric emptying and help in maintain lean body or muscle mass . Daily protein requirement should ideally be followed as 0.8-1g per kg body weight. You can include non-vegetarian sources of protein such as chicken, eggs, fish, prawns etc and vegetarian sources Milk & milk products like paneer, Legumes, lentils, beans (chickpeas, kidney, mung, pinto etc.), peas (green, split, etc.), soybeans (and products made from soy: tofu, tempeh, etc.), peanuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, squash and pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds as a part of your daily balanced diet
