To increase body weight and muscle mass through Ayurveda, focus on balancing your doshas, enhancing your digestive fire (agni), and nourishing your tissues (dhatus). For gaining weight, a Vata-pacifying diet can be beneficial. It includes consuming warming, heavier and moist foods. Aim for a diet that includes ghee, whole grains like rice and wheat, and proteins from legumes and dairy like paneer and milk. Include nuts like almonds and walnuts which are sustaining and nourishing.

To improve energy levels and combat laziness, consider enhancing your agni. A strong digestive fire ensures proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Begin your day with a glass of warm water with lemon to stimulate digestion. Ginger tea can also be helpful. Avoid raw and cold foods which can weaken digestion.

For increasing muscle mass, Ashwagandha might be helpful. Known for its rejuvenating properties, it supports muscle growth and overall vitality. You can take it as a powder mixed with warm milk at night. It’s vital to follow this with strength-building exercises, like weight training or resistance exercises, at least 3-4 times a week. Gradually increase in intensity.

Regular pranayama (breathing exercises) can help increase your energy levels and enhance metabolism. Practice Surya Prana or Bhastrika. For strength, yoga asanas such as Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose), and Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) can be beneficial.

As for increasing penis size, while there are limited Ayurvedic approaches directly claiming such effects, overall health and circulation can be improved by employing vajikarana therapy which promotes sexual health. Consider herbs like Shatavari and Gokshura under guidance of a qualified practitioner.

Remember, changes in diet and exercise should be gradual and practical adjustments requiring consistency. If symptoms persist or cause concern, consulting a healthcare professional is advised. Note that Ayurveda is intended to complement, not replace, regular medical treatments.

To address your desire to increase weight and muscle mass, alongside boosting energy levels and body strength, we can consider an Ayurvedic approach which involves understanding your body’s dosha balance and digestive fire, or agni.

First, focusing on your agni is crucial. A sluggish digestion can lead to low energy and difficulty gaining mass. You might want to include spices like ginger and black pepper in your diet to ignite your metabolic fire. Eating at regular intervals, avoiding cold and raw foods, and consuming a proper breakfast are foundational steps.

To gain weight, focus on kapha-promoting foods such as dairy products, ghee, nuts, whole grains like quinoa and brown rice, along with sweet fruits like mangoes and bananas. These will help nourish the body’s sapta dhatus - or seven tissue systems - contributing to healthy weight gain.

For muscle mass, incorporating strength-building exercises like weightlifting or yoga asanas like Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) can be particularly beneficial. Consistency is key here, even if it means starting small.

For increasing overall energy, ensure adequate sleep and manage stress through practices like meditation or pranayama to maintain balance in your nadis, or energy channels. Avoid excess stimulants like caffeine.

Regarding your concern about penis size, Ayurveda does not have reliable evidence to suggest significant changes through natural means, and it’s important to approach this with realistic expectations. Focus instead on building strength and vitality overall.

If you continue to feel unusually fatigued or if there’s no improvement, seek a detailed consultation with an Ayurveda practitioner, as other underlying imbalances might need to be addressed. Remember to listen to your body’s responses and adapt as needed.
