Sum|, if you stop smoking you will gain 2-3 kg without doing anything else. If you’re taller than 1.55m, you are underweight and the best would be to have your doctor take a look. I doubt that it’s something serious, but you might be suffering from something like an over-active thyroid gland, diabetes, anaemia, etc. Good luck.
