if you are underweight then you want to increase muscle mass not fat. the higher the body fat % the easier it is for the body to continue to store fat even at a reduce caloric intake.
unless you are naturally about 5% body fat then you don't need to gain body fat

Whether it's for a sport or personal reasons, packing on extra pounds is not as easy as it seems. For many people, gaining weight can be just as difficult as losing weight. Often a change in diet can help a person add desired pounds. But to gain sustainable weight, follow these guidelines.
Things You'll Need
Home Gyms
Snack Foods
Healthful Foods
Dumbbells
Weight Gain Products
Step OneEat nutritious foods that are high in calories. Examples are whole-grain breads, vegetables such as avocados and potatoes, kidney beans, lean red meat, poultry and fish.
Step TwoIncrease the caloric value of your meals. Add powdered milk to casseroles for added calories, add avocados and olives to sandwiches, add wheat germ to your cereal, add chopped meat to your pasta sauce, and so on.
Step ThreeAvoid skipping meals. Knowing how to gain weight involves consistent eating. Eat three meals a day and at least two snacks.
Step FourIncrease your normal portion size. Take a second scoop of pasta, or add two bananas to your oatmeal.
Step FiveChoose higher-calorie foods when given a choice. For example, corn is higher in calories than green beans.
Step SixRelax - excessive fidgeting and restlessness can burn up a lot of calories.
Step SevenAdd weight lifting to your exercise program. It helps build muscle mass.
Step EightBalance your caloric intake with the number of calories you're burning. You need to be taking in more than you use up, and you may need to ease up a little on your exercise program.
Tips & Warnings
You should have a doctor rule out any physical problems, such as hormonal imbalances, if you cannot seem to put on any weight. A doctor might have other recommendations on how to gain weight, too.
Although it seems like a logical way to bulk up, avoid adding excess fat and sweets to your diet. Eat fats and oils in moderation; they should account for no more than 30 percent of your total caloric intake.

Why on Earth do you want to get fat? But anyway, just to answer your question, try eating a little more of what you eat now, and you'll see that as time passes you will begin to get a little fatter.
Good luck!

Lots of baked goods, greasy food, and high-calorie stuff (try a weight gainer supplement). Also, for wanting to get fat, you confound me.
