Hey ohelinita!
Like you, I'm also naturally skinny and don't seem to gain a lot of weight no matter how much I eat. I've found that eating "good" fat foods definitely helps! That includes stuff like nuts, flaxseed, avocados, olives, chickpeas, etc. Here are some links to healthy fat food info:

http://www.shapefit.com/eat-fat-get-lean.html
As fun as it would be to just gain weight by scarfing down junk food (as I would LOVE to do), these fats are actually beneficial to your body, so if you don't incorporate them into your current diet, maybe you could try it out and see if it works? Eating "good" fat food coupled with exercise is a great way for you to possibly gain some more weight all over and keep it at a healthy level.
Good luck!
