Thus by suitable change of diet, a "Kapha" constitution person can gain almost 5 lbs per month, "Pitta" constitution will gain just 1 lbs per month and "Vata" constitution person can gain only 1 lbs per five months. Conversion of food to tissues (Dhatus in ayurveda) is very rapid for Kapha person, is slowest for Vata person.
Since your age is 17 years, height 5' 3" you have still scope for growth of height. Depending on you are male or female, the possibility of weight gain changes. Hormonal changes affect weight gain figures.
