Ensure your son eats a balanced diet rich in protein (such as eggs, dairy, fish, legumes, and nuts), healthy fats (such as avocado and olive oil), and complex carbohydrates (such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables). Offer frequent meals and snacks rather than forcing large portions, and encourage him to stay physically active to build muscle. Monitor his growth over time and consult a paediatrician if he remains underweight to rule out any medical issues.
