What could be done to gain weight in a lean male?
Hi doctor,
I am a 21-year-old male and weigh 88.1849 pounds with a height of 5.1 feet. I am too lean, and I am a vegetarian. But I am good at my core strength as I am a martial artist. I will not feel tired, I will never get exhausted even if I work hard to the peak. But I am very thin. I also perform physical workouts, but with my lean structure, it is all useless. I desperately want to put on weight. Please suggest some medications or activities (my mother is also lean and I guess it is heredity). Please help.
Thank you.
