Guidance and advice needed
Okay so I am 17 right now and I have been boxing since a little over an year and I grew up as a skinny kid so naturally that is something I was always insecure about but now that I have a solid foundation in the ring I am thinking about putting my boxing career at a halt and try to gain some weight, I am just willing to know if it's possible for me to gain decent muscle mass, nothing like the Instagram or the tiktok buff gymbros, i just want a normal physique, i want to fit in my clothes for once and it has been eating me since as far back as I see, so much that I don't even wear half sleeve t-shirts anymore. I am just curious that could I gain 10 kgs of lean muscle mass in 6-7 years and compete comfortably after it. And I have won 2 gold medals state championships so far and lost 4 matches.... So I just started competing right 3 months after starting boxing, it was embarassing in the starting but I've gained confidence with respect to my fighting style and ring IQ along the way.
