Going to see a medical physician to have physical, blood work &
other test done to rule out medical problems that can cause this
would give you the best & quickest results.
If you have a thyroid, hormone, digestive issues or ciliacs nothing
mentioned here is going to do a darn bit of good.

I understand the need to stay in shape. But women are beautiful in all sizes as long as they care about their appearance.

get rid of all your cardio workouts
lift weights and eat lots and lots of carbs.
That should cause you to gain muscle.
You want to gain weight but you did not specifify for what point.
But what I just told you should cause you to bulk up a little

Sofia - based on your profile pics, seems like you have close to a perfect body. Doesn’t look like you need to gain (or lose) any weight.

You need protein to gain muscle mass more than you need carbs.

So it sounds like you're doing what you should be doing (went to the doctor, training regularly, eating healthier.) Just to add my two cents:
1.) Use your favorite search engine to look up articles written by Dr. John Berardi, a nutrition guru who's consulted with pro athletes and bodybuilders alike. He has paid programs, but he's also written a lot of free articles at t-nation.
2.) Speaking of t-nation, lots of great training and nutrition articles. My favorite writers are TC Luoma, Dave Tate, Christian Thibaudeau, the already mentioned John Berardi. But just read some of the tips on training and nutrition and see what you can incorporate into your life.
3.) Excessive stress can lead to slow gains, so be aware of that, and see what reasonable lifestyle changes you can adopt to minimize stress. Regular sleep schedule, what you eat, supplements, meditation (there's an app called headspace that I like); all can help.
4.) As a slow gainer myself, I've found that it's important to be goal oriented. In the past, I was more goal-oriented in terms of body (lose 5 lbs. fat, gain 5 lbs. muscle, etc.) but I think at least for my brain, it's better to be performance oriented. For example, you can squat x # pounds for Y # reps. In 6 weeks, my goal is to be able to squat MORE more with same # reps and/or with the same weight with more reps (or both!) Other examples: increase # of laps I can swim in x # minutes, or even doing a yoga pose you couldn't do previously. Even though the changes in the body are slow, the increases in strength and/or flexibility are really gratifying and satisfying.
5.) Remember that improving your health is a journey of a lifetime. If gains come slowly, they come slowly. Assuming you're really committed, I wouldn't be surprised that in 6-12 weeks, at the same weight, you'll notice that your body is just more toned and everything feels better. That's progress, and you should be proud and happy with it (I know, easier said than done. I get that too.)
