Hello there,
Maybe you just have a faster metabolism and hence you d not gain weight easily. As you get older and get married and have a child you would fill out .
The easiest way to gain weight is never miss breakfast and have heavy dinners. . Food rich in protein like eggs, meats or fish,soya can be added to diet.
for you to attain an even body structure you should focus more on doing these 3 basic exercises-
1) Squats
2) Pushups
3) Pullups
These can be done anywhere even at home. Try doing sets of 20 of each exercise and later increase it to 40. They would help tour legs, arms and back fill out and you would have an even physique.
Thank you for your query ,
