If you eat your thighs and bum back on, you might find yourself with a few undesirable extra bits!
One of my friends is naturally tiny. In high school she weighed 89 lbs and was straight up and down. The only thing that really worked for her was working out.
It all depends on what your doctor okays, but squats don't require any special equipment, they're easy to do, don't take long and they do wonders for your bum and legs! Just make sure that with a history of health issues you're okay to start exercising.

You have not said how long it has been since you regained your health. It takes time after a serious illness for the body to regulate itself and repair any damage an illness and the medications may have done. This is what the body does first; repair itself internally.
While I am more skilled at advising people how to loose weight. Gaining weigh is just as hard and just as long a process. You start by talking with your doctor about what type of calorie count you need to take in based on your daily activities. Then break that count up over the 3 balanced meals and 2 snacks a day.
Breakfast as the saying goes is the most important meal of the day so you want to kick the day of with a fairly high calorie count as high as 25% of what you daily intake should be. Lunch could be another 15% to 20%. Afternoon snack the difference between lunch calories and 25% of total. Dinner would be another 35% to 40 with you evening snack making up the difference in what is missing to make 100%, you can be flexible with these numbers they are only an example. If you go over one day that's fine don't subtract it from the next day. If your under one day do add the missing calories in the next day if you can.
Most important is to eat 3 balanced meals which include the 5 important dietary items each day. You can also exercise while gaining weight to tone your body while doing so. Remember two things if you do. First: You have to account for your exercising in your calorie count and add in more calories. Second: Muscle weighs more than fat so if you build muscle you will gain weight faster without looking fat. Also let your doctor know what you are doing so he/she can monitor you while you are doing this. It is very important that the doctor monitor you while you gain or loose weight.
Products like Ensure will help and can be an excellent afternoon snack you can carry with you and have in school if you need to do so.
