If you’re trying to gain weight, you’ll need to eat lots of carbs. That is whereyour healthy gains will come from. But since you’re very active and growing fast, you’re going to need alot of protein too. If you’r eating a good healthy diet and not gaining that is a good sign you don’t have enough protein in the diet. To the purpose of gaining weight, it’s a good idea to eat carbs right before your workout and protein right after. If you have protein before the workout you will lose it because food moves through your digestive tract 55% faster while you are working out. Carbs are digested quickly anyway and provide energy, so you’ll still get most of those calories. Then your muscles need the protein to benefit from the workout so you’ll have room for that afterwards.
Here’s a smoothie you might like to incorporate into your diet:

Peanut butter is really high in protein and in "good" fat, so this would be good for weight gain, especially if you use ensure plus (which is especially designed for weight gain) instead of the yogurt and use a full two tablespoons of peanut butter. The banana and wheat germ also contain potassium and B vitamins which you lose in sweat and during workouts, so it’s good to have then too.
Take second helpings whenever you want them, eat lots of pasta and potatoes (but, of course, leave room for the meat and vegetables), and feel free to pig out Seriously, it’s better to eat something every couple of hours than just the 3 big meals a day, even if you might eat smaller portions at mealtime.
Here’s something else to think about: if you have just a piece of toast for breakfast, your stomach is going to be empty in 25 minutes. However, if you add a little peanut butter to that toast, your stomach will react to the specific fat that is in that and release an enzyme and really digest it thoroughly so something will be in there for 3 hours and you’ll use every last bit of it. So peanut butter is yur best friend. So is milk–how about whole milk?

Being 6'1" and weighing 155 lb. is not "damn skinny" sorry! I'm 6'2" and weigh 135 lb. and i could still lose 5-10lb. if I wanted to. I don't think you need to gain weight, I think you have body image issues where you don't think you weigh enough.
