If as you say you cannot stuff any more food in and cannot gain weight, you should talk to a doctor.  She or he might be able to do more for you than changing your diet will.  Have you calculated your body mass index (BMI)?  There are many websites where you can do this, I recommend the CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm (use the teen calculator).  This will let you know where you stand with your peers.  The best way to gain weight is to increase calorie intake.  If you are eating as much as you can, maybe you should change the types of food you are eating, i.e. no junk food, stay away from saturated fats, UNsaturated fat is good, as well as proteins which will help strengthen muscles (muscle weighs more than fat).  Whole milk, although not too low in saturated fat is a good source of calories from fats and proteins, and is sometimes recommended by nutritionists to help undernourished people gain weight.  Also peanut butter is good, it has a good balance of calories from fats, carbs and proteins.  Good luck, but most importantly you should talk to a doctor or nutritionist before making any drastic changes.

Milk, fresh cow milk is the best. Try 2 glass of them everyday. Don't just eat a lot, especially those hi calorie junk food, they are dangerous. Eat healthy, just add few more, high protein ones, meat, eggs. And exercise, hard, those extra pounds need to go to the right, toned parts. For fast gain, you can try those mass-gain supplements, but I don't recommend that. And btw, being 5'3" and 40kg IS NOT TO SKINNY, I think it's cute and sexy. May I get some pics :p

If you eat a normal, healthy balanced diet you are unlikey to need supplements.\nFor reliable medical/scientific advice look here:

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating!\n\nEating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.\n\nFocus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.\n\nGain Weight Step 2 - lifting!\n\nAs stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.\n\nWhen trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.\n\nGain Weight Step 3 - supplements!\n\nTo gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.\n\nI like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2  will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes. Get yourself a Shaker Bottle to make it even easier.\n\n\n\n\n(I got these answers from the website below...check it out, it has some great advice)

I am in the process gaining some weight aswell. To do so, I am drinking Ensure Plus homemade vanilla milkshakes which are actually very yummy. It is a meal replacement aswell as a shake to help you gain weight. I am eating like I normally do but also taking the shakes after dinner. Ensure contains alot of essentials vitamins and minerals, calcium and proteins, it is an excellent way to gain weight, and it really does taste very good. \n\nYou can buy Ensure at any grocery store near you like Publix, aswell as Costco and BJ's.

Ok, Iam not an expert, but due to my hectic training schedule, I was not able to eat properly, and I lost a lot of kilos. Iam already lean, now I became even more lean! Then I asked for methods to gain weight.\n\n                   The first thing you should keep in mind is that gaining weight is not the only sign of health. If it is, then why are so many people out there go to gym everyday and sweat like pigs to lose weight?! Your doctor diagnosed and didn't find anything wrong, right? And you know very well that you are healthy as a horse. Then what are you so worried about? You should be proud about your amazing slim body. Many people out there dream about a slender attractive body... :-)\n\n               If you still want to gain weight, try thick banana milkshake, and milk mixed with enough protein powder everyday.\nTake in a lot of dairy products(but be careful when you take in the butter). Go to a good gym, where a good instructor can give you advice on gaining body mass.I don't think non-veg is gonna help gain body mass. It just makes you obese.\n\n               "You are just 29, and you alredy have a good family, now why are you so worried about being lean? Be proud, man, just enjoy the life...." ;-)

The best supplement is a good nutrional diet.  You should be able to get everything you need for building muscle just through your diet, if you eat right, and eat often enough.\n\nThe only thing that is at all worth the money is protein supplementation.

Just eat healthy and dont eat junk food to gain weight. You need to be eating more than you burn. Keep excercising though, you want to put on muscle not fat. Find out what the daily requirement for you bmi is. Then make sure you surpass that daily.\nhttp://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm#BMI

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n\nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit. C

Ask your doctor to give you a referral to a Dietician.  They will give you a specialized diet plan to help you gain weight the proper way. Make sure you eat 3 good meals a day and 3 good snacks in between.  Junk food will put weight on you but not the kind you need!
