Answers:
Increasing your intake of junk foods and greasy foods is not a good way to gain weight. Junk foods usually contain unhealthy trans fats, saturated fats and refined sugar. Even though you need to increase your calorie consumption to gain weight, those calories should come from foods that are good for you.
Healthy fats include sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as tuna, salmon, flax, and walnuts. Good sources of protein include lean meats, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds and legumes. Healthy carbohydrate sources include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
It may be easier to eat five or six smaller balanced meals per day rather than eating three large meals, especially if you are not used to eating much at one sitting.
3 cups of milk a day, eat plenty of protein (say, 40 or 50 grams a day, not much more though because it could do damage), eat whole grain carbs. They have more calories and are more nutritious than white bread. Eat your fruits and vegetables, 5-9 servings a day. I know this may sound crazy for LOSING weight, but you should exercise, even if it's just walking, so you can gain muscle and then build from there. I have a friend who is 15 and that same size as you and she can't help it either :/
If you don't gain weight doing all of that, then just wait it out. You'll gain weight eventually =)
Protein.
Peanut butter, pizza, protein supplements.
Milk will barely help. Get your thyroid checked.
