Body types are bullshit. You can change "body types" with enough effort. If you think you are ectomorphic put on some muscle and fill out your frame.

I can't gain weight no matter what I do.

Cap. Gaining weight isn't magical, it's reality. Calculate your required calories/macros, track your calories/macros, get your micro nutrients, eat your macros and in a slight surplus. Over time you will gain weight. Are you trying to put on muscle, fat, both?

I'm trying to build muscle, by the way. My weight is 52 kg.
 
https://www.calculator.net/macro-calculator.html use this calculator or a similar one. If you want to gain muscle I would recommend slightly upping protein intake and eat in a 150-250 calorie surplus from where you should be right now. Get good consistent workouts in, don't over stress your muscles but don't under train. At 52kg I'm going to assume you are young or at least shorter and still growing. You should absolutely focus on training and nutrition. The rest will follow.

No problem. Just remember building muscle will be slow. Stay consistent and on top of everything and you will see results in time. Especially at 15 your hormones are going to be ramping up to their highest levels in the coming years which will benefit you if you get the basics down now.
