Hello I am 17 year boy. My height is 5.6 ft and weight is 42 kg. I am very skinny from my young age. I am very unconfident due to very skinny as baby shaming is quiet common. My question is can I join gym and do weight training to gain some muscles. I have recently started a diet in calorie surplus.
