I'm 5'9 (almost 5'10 1m77) and I weigh 119 pounds. My doctor says I should gain weight, but I eat normally (ok I'm a veggie freak) I don't do any physical exercise except for walking from time to time and I do not have any sort of eating disorder. Is there really bad consequences to being underweight?

yes! you can still be healthy & underweight, just not too underweight, that it so much affects your health. As long as you get a healthy amount of calories & healthy food in your day, then yes in my opinion you can still be healthy. Maybe try exercising to put on muscle

if you feel good forget about adding weight because it will come soon enough :)
