It seems, by using the command \setul{}{ pt} in the soul package, we can change the underline width. But I don't want to use this package. Is there any other command for changing the underline width to an arbitrary size, without using any specific package?

Here is an adaptation to Martin's answer at Cool Text Highlighting in LaTeX where I have defined \tikzst based on Martin's \tikzul.
This shows examples of
- strike out and underlining
- strike out and highlighting
Note:
Usually,
\tikzmarksolutions require two runs. As there are nested uses of\tikzmark, this require at three runs. (Thanks @Werner for pointing this out).The additional run is required as the nested
tikzmark's locations depends on the location of the parent's\tikzmark. So, the first run stabilizes the location of the "outer"\tikzmark, the second stabilizes the location of the "inner"\tikzmark, and the third to do the actual drawing.The
\tikzmarkis from Adding a large brace next to a body of text.

\vphantom{\psi} helps. Then the underlining command for i sees the larger descender of \psi, while \psi is not visible:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\begin{document}
%underline example
\begin{align}
m = -\dfrac{3}{2} z_\mathrm{p} \operatorname{Im}\{\underline{\psi}_1^{\angle
k} \underline{i\vphantom{\psi}}_1^{\angle k *} \}
\end{align}
%ulem package example
\begin{align}
m = -\dfrac{3}{2} z_\mathrm{p} \operatorname{Im}\{\uline{\psi}_1^{\angle
k}\uline{i\vphantom{\psi}}_1^{\angle k *} \}
\end{align}
\end{document}

REVISED APPROACH
Here is
\dunderline[<offset of line top>]{<thickness>}{<content>}.EDIT: I took Harald's suggestion to place the macro inside of a group, since
\ooalignchanges\lineskiplimit. Without the extra group, the underline can run into the content below on the next line. With the extra group, as shown in the MWE, extra vertical space is inserted to prevent overlap.EDITED to use egreg's suggestion of
\sbox0{}, rather than\setbox0=\hbox{}.ORIGINAL OFFERING
The magnification is arbitrary, but only between 1x and 2x the original thickness. It performs the result with a double underline. Since an underline is .4pt thick, the 1st parameter offset can only vary between 0pt (1x mag) to .4pt (2x mag).
