First of all, normal is considered between 18.5 and 24.9.  You are in that range.  However, BMI is also relative to body frame and ethnic background.  For example, Asians have different BMI criteria.  If you eat when you're hungry, and have a balanced diet, there is no reason you should try to put on weight, especially if you have a small frame.

I mean, you're a 32DD, so you obviously have a high enough fat percentage and a small frame.  Body compsition is a MUCH more important indicator of health. 

I have an extremely small frame (28DD at 5'6"), and a 17 BMI.  But with a totally normal body fat percentage, I still have periods every single month, and take in 2,000 cal/day.  If you are comfortable, and your Dr. is not concerned, BMI doesn't really matter.
