hmmm, im not sure! Strange things happen when you grow lots during puberty, how old are you?

Otherwise it could be because you're small framed and although you're still skinny, you could have a higher fat percentage than someone with a bigger frame but the same size... does that make sense?

Probably because you have very little muscle mass so you appear skinny, but the weight that you do have is fat. From what you posted that's all I can guess. People are genetically inclined to have a certain type of body, but you still have alot of control over what your body looks like. How old are you? Some people don't finish going through puberty until they are 18-20 so this could be a huge factor. If you haven't hit puberty yet or are still going through it, then you will still naturally gain alot more muscle mass.

I'm 16 so that must be it! But yah, I would say I'm pretty fat interms of flubbyness so that would explain it.

You must still be going through puberty. Don't worry too much about it, you won't look like that for much longer and your body will change alot during the next few years. Even after you finish puberty, you will still naturally build muscle mass until about age 25. I know plenty of guys that still looked like little kids when they were 17 and now seeing them at 19 or 20, they look completely different. Even me, I went through puberty early and was 5'11 at 135 lbs when I was 13. Even though I was done with puberty early, by the time I graduated high school I was still 5'11 but weighed 195. I put on 60 lbs of mostly muscle during the few years after puberty, so you can look forward to a different body as well as you get older.

So yeah if you guys have any tips, please share them, i would really appreciate it

Sorry also for posting my own problem, just seemed like the right place to put it
