Prasad was not keeping well for quite sometime.
The expression seems to mean "taking care of his health."
These things vary by region and ethnicity.
My Jewish friends in the US typically say, "Be well," when parting. (Not always, of course.)
Christians or wasps would more likely say, "Stay well," "

People I work with over in India used the term "not keeping well" in place of what I would use "not feelining well". When someone is out of work because they are "ill" or "sick" (in the US), the guys in India will say he's "not keeping well"

In BrE, I am keeping well means I am staying healthy,
Basically, my health is OK.
