Any clues as to why you're underweight first?
Do you have any medical condition? Are your parents and close relatives notably slim? Do you eat regularly?
I'm guessing you're just naturally slim due to being a youngster with a high metabolism. What kind of meals? Large. Regular set times throughout the day. Snacking will keep your metabolism highly active and dampen your weight gain. So restrict your meal time to say, an hour frame max and eat nothing between.
When you do eat said meals, during those times make sure you get a balanced meal, i.e. everything you need. And then feel free to eat on top of that, apart from the obvious no-go areas like soda and extremely sugary crap. Once you're done (as full as possible), refrain from consuming anything except water until the next meal.
As long as you're sure you've got the correct nutrients for your meal, eating on top of that until you're comfortably full is a reasonable move, unless it's junk.
As for your muscles, toning requires high rep exercises which, generally speaking, burn alot of calories and will, to some extent, interfere with your weight gain. What I recommend are short, high intensity exercises such as sprinting (I'm assuming you're not the type to go to a gym and try to 'bulk'). Try a few low rep bodyweight exercises such as pushups, pullups, and if you're good at this, handstand pushups.
