It depends on the kind of weight you want to gain. I have a super fast metabolism, but gained about 20 pounds in 2 months by eating at McDonald's in-between meals. You can also drink a big milkshake before you go to sleep at night. But, this is what you need to do if you want to gain muscle:
-You need to eat at least 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh each day (no more than 40 grams at a time). Drink lots of water to help your body process the protein better.
-You need to work out with heavy weights and low reps to stimulate muscle growth (if you can do it more than 8 times, it's too light).
-You need to let your body totally recover before working out a particular muscle again (less is more when gaining).
-Take L-Glutamine at night to help keep your body from burning muscle.
-Stay away from the cardio during this time (nothing that will raise your heartrate for extended periods of time).
-Be consistent! Good luck.

Most teenagers have a fast metabolism and can eat anything without gaining weight.
Once you hit 18, that will all change and you'll have to watch what you eat.
When I was a teenager, I was like you. I was thin and could eat anything without gaining weight. I was underweight. When I hit 18, everything changed.
Wait until you're 18.
Don't use pills. They're not safe.

Stop obsessing about your weight. You're fine. When you're older you'll probably obsess since you'll be gaining more weight than you want. You're young, just enjoy life.

There are many people who can eat as much as they want and don't gain weight, you could start by eating fat more meat as long as you don't overdo it.

If you eat more meat and start excercisizing more, you might be able to build muscle and look more buff.
