Meaning
To increase one's body mass.
Cultural Background
In India, being 'well-built' is often a sign of prosperity. Elders might encourage younger ones to 'gain weight' to look healthy. In modern urban settings, 'gaining weight' is specifically associated with 'bulking' or muscle gain in the gym.
Causative Verbs
Remember that Hindi uses causative verbs (like बढ़ाना) to show you are the one doing the action.
Don't be rude
Avoid telling people they need to 'वजन बढ़ाना' unless you are a doctor or a close friend.
