I'm 6" 2 and weigh 205. About 5 years ago I was about 160. I'm at about a perfect weight right now. I had pretty much the same problem. What I did was just eat a lot of protein - but pretty healthy stuff. I would lift in about 3 month intervals, on and off, but play basketball year round.
Things I would recommend:
Eat a lot of protein.
If you don't lift, do stuff like hiking, rockclimbing, running, etc. You won't get huge, but you'll put on some good weight if you're just active as hell.
Make sure you get plenty of sleep.
Don't smoke or drink anything with caffeine.
Limit alchohol consumption.
That's basically how I live all the time, and I can not work out for 2 months and still have almost a 6 pack going and be pretty firm. Just do some pushups/situps and pullups when I can and I'll maintain.
Good luck putting some weight on. Give it a couple years, I'm 26 now and was skinny at your age too.
