I used to be skinny before i turned 15, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you implying: That you gained weight after age 15 years old? Well, your body was still growing at that age ; so calories are applied to that task. You may have been more physically active at that time. Your metabolic rate may have slowed over time - especially if you aren't real active. Weight gain may be slow but is accumulative.
