Yes, Paleo is absolutely right for you.
I'm also 21, also very underweight (weighing just 46kg), and living with an autoimmune disease. I've suffered anxiety most of my life, and think I can offer you some really useful tips.
Eliminating gluten 100% has done a lot for me (but was incredibly difficult at first), in fact I've eliminated a ridiculous amount of stuff due to my illness, I now avoid all nightshades, refined sugars, gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, and high starch vegetables (I suffer from a leaky gut and have to follow the Paleo autoimmune-protocol).
An important question to ask yourself is, why are you underweight in the first place? I didn't used to be underweight, but as my gut health deteriorated, I developed food malabsorption, gut dysbiosis, and bacterial overgrowths, meaning I could barely tolerate any sugar, even from fruit, but especially not carbs. Being underweight - this was a big problem, I lost about 10kg, and I'm only just starting to recover and make sense of it all. It sounds like you're in a VERY similar situation to me, so perhaps we can help each-other out.
The most important thing is to accept that you're ill, and that things will only get worse unless you take action. However, no matter how hopeless you feel, just remember that by understanding the science behind your illness, you have the power to get better.
I strongly reccommend you buy this book: LINK
If you haven't yet been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or leaky gut, chances are you are at high risk of developing one or the other. What you will find, is that by following some version of the Paleo diet, you will give your body everything it needs to recover back to it's natural state. Your gut is possibly the most important aspect of your health, once your gut is damaged, you don't digest food properly, and toxins are able to enter your blood stream, causing an immune response, leading to problems like allergies and a weakened immune system. This all has an affect on your hormone levels, and that is a very likely cause of your weight loss. I myself tested low for Testosterone levels.
Here are some quick tips:
Hope this helps, best of luck! Enjoy the journey to good health!
Edit: Oh, and I recommend taking L-Glutamine every day, it will help you gain weight, and it's extremely good for healing your gut. Also, home-made bone broth will do wonders for health, I can't recommend it enough.
Okay, good point, I drink bulletproof coffee and I eat twice a day so it's not six hours for me. You could try just not drinking with meals or drinking less, sometimes I sip a little water with meals I'm just very careful.
Yes, I chug water constantly the rest of the day, which can be hassle. I have a job where bathroom access is not easy so it works for me, I work, eat, then drink. You could just try not drinking with a meal for a few meals and see if it helps, if not, then it doesn't.
I have LPR. Betaine is an acid supplement derived from beets.

Also, please note I had some other advice that wasn't as extreme, acid really helps keep the food from coming up my throat as does taking a probiotic as my food is digested more efficiently. I'd suggest a small green salad with a vinegar dressing and just see if you feel better, with my rebound reflux it was one of the only things I could eat without misery -- vegetables in oil and vinegar. Fits keto, so it can't hurt.
My LPR was severe to the point it caused massive damage to my teeth and it still flares up especially if I eat white rice (have you noticed that?) it's gross but it actually feels like there's rice stuck in my throat or donuts, which now make my throat feel like I swallowed battery acid. Of course that's now a good way to keep me from eating them.
Especially since PPIS reduce your acid production I really recommend adding some to your diet.
