I'm already 22.. still no changes of me?

I'm kinda skinny but same time a bit curvy and has flat chested... *some people mistook me as I'm still 16 lol

I eat a lot but I never gained weight? ( I also have thyroid so... which is why my metabolism is fast.)

But..
I'm taking some medication for my thyroid already but still no weight is improving...

Is this because of my genes?

I was a late bloomer by the way.. is this possible?

I need ur advice... thanks

You're perfectly natural. Some people are just naturally more slender than others. You fit into this group. You're not odd by any means.

Trust me, by the time you're in your 40s, you'll probably be glad as hell you didn't start adding on the pounds in your early 20s

you're right, thanks!

No, it is not because of your genes. Genes play a minimal role in weight gain/loss, like the difference of only a few hundred calories. All you can do is eat more and eat calorie dense foods. If you aren't gaining weight then you simply aren't eating enough.

don't worry about it. As you age your metabolism will slow down naturally. Don't try to push nature. Enjoy your skinny self and ignore the ones who think yo are too skinny.

True! I just dont like people telling me to gain weight and its hrd esp with my own body lol

If you can't gain weight - find a guy who is happy with your skinny size. Everybody can find somebody who likes them - just the way they are. DO NOT CHANGE YOURSELF FOR OTHERS

You're good. Heck. Up until I was 22, I looked like I was 13. I then made a choice to gain muscle mass. After that, I still have to eat a lot of food (google the term "skinny fat" and you'll know what I mean). I exercise to keep everything in check (family history of diabetes). At 35, people think I'm 25 or something, which is fine, I just gotta watch out for the college gals flirting with me.

Be happy in your cute little skinny... er... skin. Some guys (me included) love it.
