Increase your calories. It's kind of hard to tell what your body needs in particular without blood tests, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. If you want to gain muscle, meat would be great for building muscle. However, meat also has saturated fat, so if you don't really want too much fat, you can eat legumes or beans, nuts, and seeds. They got a ton of proteins but not much fat. I wouldn't worry about you eating a ton of meat though if your weight is really that low. You can use this website to determine the amount of calories you need to gain weight at a healthy rate. https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html Usually if you want to gain muscle, you will also have to do strength workouts. But if you don't really care about gaining fat, then I wouldn't really worry about working out much. Based on your really cute profile pic, I highly doubt you gaining 20 pounds without working out would make you fat. You look amazing now and you'll look amazing after gaining 20 pounds, too. But before you gain the 20 pounds, check your BMI to see if you're already at a healthy weight. https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html
Do leg training and eat more so that when you're gaining weight it is in muscle. If you don't like being toned just skip the upper body training but I really don't think you'll have to worry about "looking too muscular." Muscle weights more than fat so you won't see yourself bloating up as you gain muscle. Plus when you gain muscle you'll need to eat more to maintain it. Your caloric needs go way up.
Also doctors these days will prescribe anything for money. They like to bill insurance companies as much as possible. So don't think everything a doctor says is legitimate. If you don't like something a doctor wants to give you, you're under no obligation to take it no matter how important he tries to make himself sound.
Do you regularly get your periods and did she check if you have any previously undiscovered diseases (e. g. thyroid) ? If you don't have any health problems I fail to see why you should gain 20 pounds for the sake of reaching a certain BMI.
Yes workout and built muscle. And breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So get up earlier and take a good one

Eat quality foods in good amounts
Make sure you have a small calorie surplus, some where around 300calories more than you normally consume to maintain weight
I also suggest working out, building muscle will make you gain healthy weight
it will take time but you will get there :)
peanuts, nuts, anything calorie dense. you should snack on. A healthy goal is to add 500 extra calories to your diet per day. Which will add up to 1 pound per week. Then once you stop gaining, you add another 100 per week. Remember each pound of muscle takes 18 calories a day to maintain.
Try training a bit, eat lots of carbs and protein but the key is you have to train so that you don't put it on as fat, the training is what stops it getting stored as fat without it you would gain bad weight
Avoid skipping breakfast. It is very important for gaining weight. If possible eat about six times a day. The three main meals plus snacks in between.
What I know is you must go for breakfast.. And it could be heavy according to your weight...
For gaining weight you should go for medicine for worms and than a diet rich in protein and carbohydrates , and a apatizer, some workout.
Healthy weight lmfao. I think you mean muscle right.
Don't skip breakfast and work out, LOL!!! Seriously.
eat clean and workout.
Eat A LOT.. but keep it healthy. No fast food or pizza or anything that is blatantly junk food.
Find a good weight gain programme from the internet and try and be disciplined
You need to eat something for breakfast, because that is slowing your metabolism down, pack something the night before. Also eat carbs, that'll help you gain weight.
Lift weighs, and eat healthy.
