Start weight training by doing reps at a weight where you can only do a maximum of 8-12, and do this in sets of 3 - 5. Once you get used to that weight, and feel you could to more reps, increase the weight by 5-10%. Do minimal cardio vascular activity except for a 5-10 minute warm up before weight training since cardio burns fat and makes you lose weight. For eating, eat a healthy diet (as much as fast food and junk food do make people fat -it's not a healthy way to gain weight). Eat a lof of protein to help build muscle and try protein bars and powders that are rich in calories for gaining weight (ie. try Mammoth 2500).
Good luck!

Your best bet is to drink that ensure vitamin liquid.
LIft weights will give u muscle tone that weighs more then fat.
