54kg at a tad under 6ft is underweight regardless of age. Besides I know he's off to uni this year so 18 roughly
In that case yes, he is underweight. Would've been fine being 15/16.
He needs to calculate his BMR and add an extra 250-500 calories if he wants to gain weight.
This is what I've been doing...Might just need to add even more. When I calculated it before I needed roughly 1900 calories maintenance (EDIT: Just checked again, BMR of 1600 so maintenance of 1900-2200. I've been trying to eat roughly 2500 calories a day and whenever I've tracked it I seem to have done fine. I'll up it a bit more and make sure I track it and stick to it. Like today I've had 2500 without counting the crappy snacks I had earlier so probably 2700

And 56kg, not 54
For your height and age, 1900 for maintenance is ridiculously low and not taking into account training that you've just started. I find it ridiculously easy to pack cals in but I've always been a very big eater to be honest

i think I need more easy, healthy meal ideas for breakfast/lunch. Any suggestions where to look?

Bro in your case just stick to calorie dense meals since your underweight. My personal favorite when i start bulking is pasta . Its rich in carbs and has a lot of calories .
Just getting back into keeping in shape after about a year or so out due to injury and I've put on a fair wee bit of weight cancelled my gym membership last year and not sure I want to pick it up again as I really plan on just shifting the weight by running and would rather run in the fresh air. Is that a good idea to just do cardio? Also any song recommendations or things to keep track of the runs? Haven't got an ipod/phone just a crappy phone so can't get apps haha

Best way to shift fat is a keto diet with weights and the odd HIIT during the week. Stick to compound movements and free weights as well

I'm not really up for changing my whole diet, I've no weights and HIIT just aggravates my ankle when I done it in the past

If you want to lose weight, you need to change your diet. Eat healthy (no sugars, no mcdonalds, etc) and eat less (caloric deficit), also drink a LOT of water. Adding to this, do cardio. You'll lose weight.
You might want to check also the "Military Diet". Simple and hard diet.
I've already made changes to my diet so I don't planning on making any more right now. Just wanted advice on whether or not just cardio is a good idea...

If you're going to do Cardio. Do Interval
Thanks man, I'll do interval. Would you suggest like 30 second sprint 1 minute jog or something along those lines? Then increase the sprint and lower the rest as I start to feel stronger.

Just do what you feel comfortable in doing. 1:2 is always good to start with, Just make sure you can maintain it for 10-20 minutes. It time you'll be 1:1 for 30 minutes
Running while fat is awful for your knees. Do something low impact like an elliptical or an exercise bike until the weight is gone, then move to running.
At the stage now where I'm happy with my size but now need to cut to ideally get down to around 10% body fat. Dieting is just so hard and I hate cardio so much, but it has to be done.

What's your BMI?
Doesn't really matter. BMI is nonsense really,cannot account for muscle mass etc
Yes, But he may not be underweight depending on his age.
In that case yes, he is underweight. Would've been fine being 15/16.

Good luck my friend
You can still do HIIT on exercise machines.
Try HITT instead of cardio!?
Dieting is 70% exercise is 30%
I'm getting too skinny atm, quite annoying. Dropped to about 28" waist
