I've tried stuffing myself with 6 meals a day, I do tend to gain the few extra pounds but when I'm not doing anything or when I'm sleeping I lose them right away and I am back to square one. I have been doing a little research on Ensure milk and it seems like it does kinda work but it gets really expensive.

Yes, drinking Boost Ensure will help you gain weight if it helps you get down more calories. I'd recommend regular milk or chocolate milk if the calories is the main thing you're looking for. If you want to gain weight, you just need to eat more. It doesn't have to be all fat if you're working out. If you want better control of the situation beyond just trying to eat more, track your calories.
Your weight will naturally fluctuate a throughout the day and from day to day. Overnight you become dehydrated so it's usually down at it's lowest. To more accurately tell what is going on, weigh yourself first thing in the morning and see what's happening from week to week.
