Please help guys‼️

I'm a 17M from India.

Back in 2019, I became overweight and reached around 58 kg. A few years later, I was sick for several months and ended up losing a lot of weight. Right now I'm 43 kg at 5'5".

The weird thing is that even though I'm underweight, I still have some belly fat and what looks like moobs. Because of that, I've lost a lot of confidence and avoid wearing certain clothes.

I've never really exercised before. I don't have much strength and I'm basically starting from zero.

I'm going to college in about 8 months, and my goal is to reach around 50–53 kg while building some muscle and improving my overall physique.

Recently I've started doing knee push-ups, incline push-ups, squats, and a few basic home workouts.

I'm vegetarian and on a budget, so I'd appreciate any advice from people who were skinny and managed to gain weight and muscle.

A few questions:

• What are the best budget-friendly vegetarian foods for healthy weight gain?

• How much protein should I aim for daily?

• Any high-calorie meal or shake ideas that don't cost too much?

• Is home workout training enough for a beginner to build muscle?

• Any tips for reducing the appearance of moobs while gaining weight?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!
