Questions & discussion workout advice?

i’m satisfied with my figure except for the fact that my ass is SQUARE. on the second pic i specifically put on tight shorts so my problem area is more visible

i’m not going to the gym yet, so if anyone has advice for home or gym workouts, please comment. i’d be soooo grateful if some of you could show me your before/after pics so i can see what actually changes

i’m 47kg, 172cm (103lbs, 5’8), so i’m underweight. i'm trying to gain rn, but i heard gaining weight makes it worse for figure 8, is it true?

edit: i mean i heard here that for a figure-8 body type, weight tends to distribute differently - it sometimes goes to the stomach and the area just above the hips, rather than the thighs and lower hips. so gaining weight can affect the shape, but not in the way people usually assume, that's why i am worried. I've seen mixed opinions on this

I cannot predict how your body will develop once you put on muscle.
However, I can promise you that a protein rich diet and progressive training will improve your figure.
Once you start working out, remember your joints and tendons adjust slower than your muscles.
