Your weight depends a lot on your height.
Maybe you're naturally light-weight, but a healthy diet and exercise would give "meat to your bones" and some weight.

Boys tend to be very thin and narrow and light when they're growing (obviously not all of them). Some boys add height but their weight doesn't quite catch up to that height for a while.
If you really want to gain some weight something like a double-envelope of Carnation Instant Breakfast in whole milk a couple of times a day might do it.
In the meantime, don't worry about it. Just remember you're not finished growing yet. You're likely to have little awkward thing about your build. Some kids get thick in the middle. Others get too tall for their weight. Others stay small until they're 15 ot 16. Etc.
You may like to wear clothes that don't show off any ribs you may have going, or if you have horribly spindly legs you may want to wear longer pants for now. I'm not suggesting you have to hide what you are, but the fact is if you feel better not highlighting the thing that you feel is weird that's not such a bad idea for now.

Get a hand xray known as a "bone age" It will tell what your true biological age (as opposed to chronological age) is and how tall you will be. A pediatrician can also tell you based on this and what they call a body mass index chart if you are too skinny or just right.

You are simply feeling a little insecure. Have you been teased by your peers? If so then forget about them. It's your girlfriend that you need to worry about. If you want to gain more weight, contact you family doctor and a Nutritionalist. Try lifting weights and eating healthy foods to gain muscle.

You are fine, my son was 94 pounds at 15 and over 200 at 18. He grew one summer about 8 inches and 50 pounds.
Just keep eating healthy, you will be fine.

Relax. You have at least 5 more years to grow UP and 15 more years to grow out. Unless both parents are small, you likely will change dramatically in the coming years.
