You’d need to provide a little more information if you want some help. Why do you want to add weight? Is it because you are currently underweight? Or because you want to put on some muscle? Or some other reason? How much to you want to gain?

 

The generic advice would be to eat more, move less, or a combination of both. The tricky part is managing to gain at a reasonable pace:  not too fast, not too slow. I’m currently struggling with this (gaining faster than I had initially planned).

 

Note that Fitbit doesn’t support weight gain goals: it only supports weight loss goals. You’ll therefore have to monitor your progress elsewhere (I use an Excel sheet).

I don't know if it is new functionality, but you can set a weight gain goal in fitbit.  (No badges for weight gain, though).

I stand corrected, thanks for pointing this out, @Baltoscott! My misconception may have come from Fitbit nagging me about my weight loss goal being outdated (or something to that effect), once reached, and wanting me to set a new, lower one.
