Answers:
If you aren't doing any frequent exercise, start doing that for a while first (walking is good). Then start lifting weights.
By the way, you're 5'11. I'm 6'2 and four years ago I was 66 kg. Now I'm 83kg.
Don't think in terms of gaining fat. You obviously have a high metabolism so it's not going to be easy, and gaining fat isn't healthy anyway.
Take a look at what you're eating, not how much/often. You need long-term energy, and make sure you have enough protein, iron, vitamins.
And, yes, start lifting weights 2-3 times a week. Don't lift heavy weights more often than that, or you'll slow progress.
I probably could have gained weight/muscle faster than I did, but my weight gain was due to working 5 days a week, so it wasn't the best environment for muscle building.
Like you I need to start lifting weights now.
Other Answers:
eat carbs at night or evening and protein in the moring and afternoon.
also only eat 3 times a day, because the more you eat the faster your metabolism will go.
You can have all of my weight that you want! Get some protein shakes. Ask at a gym!
yr about right. this article has a weight mass index you can check out if you like the weight you should be for yr height
*1) Consume more calories then you're burning everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
