If you work out then scale back the cardio and switch to something like yoga that helps build and maintain healthy muscle mass without burning so many calories. If you don't work out then up your intake of healthy fats (well if you are vegan most of your fats are of the healthy variety) by adding snacks throughout the day including things like trail-mix and/or bananas/apples/whatever with peanut butter. I wish that I could be more help but a bit of what I ate when I was trying to put on weight was not vegan. For the record I am still a bit thin for my height as I am between 115-120lbs and 5'7ish but the doc says that I am fine and when I started the new diet I was happy to be over 105lbs so it did make a big difference.
