Anyone else wanting to gain weight?

It's usually the opposite problem!
I'm early 30s, I have got a BMI of 20.9 which I know is not underweight, but I'm 5'7 and wearing a size 6.
I've lost 2kg since last year, not through trying but I'm in a very active job where I don't sit down much and I think it's due to that.
I just think I'd look better with an extra 2-3lbs, I can definitely see weight loss in my face.
Or am I being daft?
Planning to have an extra 300 calories a day for a couple of weeks and see how that goes.

When I was 18 I weighed almost a stone less than I do now and looking back I was incredibly thin, my Mum and other people were always worried. The stone has just gone on with age but I still get comments about how there's 'nothing on me'

Sameeee. Also 5'7 which doesn't help with being thin, I feel like you look thinner when you're taller. I put on some weight after having my baby and felt so much more confident but seem to have dropped it all now and back to a size 8. Idk why I'm so slim because I eat a LOT just can't seem to keep weight on. Wbu?

I hope you succeed! How much are you hoping to gain?
I never go over my calorie limit as I've been trying to keep at this weight, but now feeling that I need to.
