21male ,my bone is very thin like girls,even smaller than that ,anyway to increase bone thickness?

No: the size of people's bones is directly related to your height. Overall most people are within a standard deviation in bone thickness and it doesn't vary much. There is no such thing as big-boned just big tissued where the muscle and tendons fat and skin overlying the bones is thick or thin.
