Bodybuilding Questions - Gaining Weight & Increasing Body Mass

Bodybuilding Question:
I always strive to know more about gaining weight and increasing my body mass. My current weight is 60 kg and my height is 185 cm. My physique is very lean and would like to bulk up and gain weight. I fear that my weight may go down even further this summer due to the hot weather here in India. Is this something I should be concerned with?

Bodybuilding Answer:
You need to do 2 main things to pack on muscle mass and gain weight:

1. Eat more food
   
2. Lift heavy with basic compound exercises
