Best way to get a bit of weight on?

Well, Jax is done with the coccidia, pinworm, and roundworms treatments. It took a month but we're now done and in the process of getting him back to a fat healthy boy. He quit eating regularly after a week or so of the meds and would maybe eat a total of 3 med dubia roaches a week and no veggies or fruit. I've bought Acidophiliz+ for him along with some critical care, powder probiotics and some other vitamins/calcium supplements from a special bearded dragon supply site. I was giving probiotics on his days off of the meds, and have been trying to get some into him just about every day since he's been off. I've been trying the critical care daily too(doesn't always go well though). He normally won't eat more then about 2cc. Just Saturday he showed interest in eating and polished off about 6 roaches in one sitting. And another 4 today. But he still isn't touching his veggies. He had a big wormy belly before treatment and was 257 grams, he dropped down to about 230 during treatment and with a full belly is about at his pre-med weight. But his skin is wrinkly and his tail has lost some fat on it. He's about 15 inches long, and under a year old. I'm not sure what to do to get him up to a nice healthy weight. His appetite just isn't there.

Will the probiotics eventually get his insides all back to normal and then appetite will return?
Will he eventually eat his veggies once he's back to normal?
I just want him healthy. I love the little guy and have put a lot of effort into trying to get him well again.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Poor guy!
Keep feeding him the roaches, since his interest is going back up. If you breed your own, go for the soft fresh molted ones while he is recovering. Offer the veggies and hopefully he will get interested again. The probiotics can take a little while as his gut flora needs to recolonize, but it's great you are offering it.

I like using hornworms to fatten up my guy, they grow huge and you don't have to feed him 100 of them, just a few. You just want to make sure you have a good cold environment for the hornworms (cooler with ice pack) so they won't grow to big too fast for your guy. Butterworms can be good too, but they are pricey. However, they can last in the fridge for a little while so they are nice in a "won't out grow or die on you" way.
