Yes you can.But do some kind of bodyweight training(squats,pushup,pull-up etc daily). Gaining weight in form of muscles is best thing you can do.Take slow approach.You can start with 1-2 kg gain per month.Eat atleast 1.2gm/kg protein.You can start with 1gm/kg protein and increase it as your digestive system adpats.

Most underrated tip for weight gain-Try consuming more liquid calories.(Avoid sugar as much as possible) For example,you can make shake of milk,oats , dryfruits,peanut butter&protein powder(if available but you can skip this.Always buy genuine protein).This gives you lot of calories and it goes down quickly.

Workout :

  • Chest and triceps
  • Back and biceps
  • Legs and shoulders

Don't do abs initially until you gain good body mass, let it accumulate fat, don't worry about it, once you feel you've built good mass, you can start cutting it.

Diet :
4-5 eggs a day + 2 chapatis + any breakfast + whey (don't take whey during the first month)

Or

300gm chicken + 4 chapatis + fruits + milk + whey

Follow this diet and you'll see changes in your body within 2 months.

And don't fap frequently, makes you less energetic.

Lol, just checked I'm 65 actually, so gained almost 1.5 kgs every month

This may sound weird, but consult your family doctor before changing your diet as too much protein is bad.
Two years ago, I started to go to the gym for weight training on a high protein diet (vegetarian). While I gained a lot of muscle mass (I'm 185 cm, went from 65 kg to 82 in my mid 20s) , I started having incredible pain on ankles with swollen foot for no reason. The pain was unbearable, and I could barely walk.

After some medical tests, the ortho concluded that I have elevated uric acid levels due to a high protein diet and asked me to cut down protein. Apparently, it's gout and has no other causes apart from just eating too much protein.

Key takeaway - go ask an expert before changing your diet.

Now what do you do for protein, how do you compensate your daily protein needs which is 1-1.4g/kg ?

If u gain weight without strength training, it’ll be unusable weight. Not at all healthy

A bit noob to bodybuilding.... I do have a high level idea but still can you define strength training ? How is it different from other workouts?

It just means u lift more than ur body so something as simple as exercises with dumbbells. Just look through YouTube

You need to eat in excess of your daily calorie requirement. Use any online calculator (Google it) to get this. It just uses your weight,height + few optional parameters to give you a certain number of calories. Let's say you arrive at 1800 calories/day.
Then you can try to consume at least 2000 calories/day. These excess 200 calories would help you put on the weight. You can Google for calorie rich foods. Peanut butter is a good example. High in calories and decent amount of protein.
