6'1": You should be seen by a hormone specialist and check whether your height is growing and to what extent. Getting taller without muscles is OK for 6'1" for a while but you do need to see someone who is expert at increasing your muscle size and strength. There are many places (physical training) that will help you gain weight and improve your strength.

Hey Doc, I'm a male 19y/o and have seen that I have puffy nipples. I dont have much chest fat and my bmi says I'm normal. When it's cold my nipples get nice and hard but later on it gets puffy. Is this because I'm going thru puberty(im a late bloomer?
