Resistance training: If you remain aerobically fit and also do some resistance training for all muscle groups, you'll get what you want. If your body looks and feels right to you and you're keeping up in sports, don't worry about numbers -- the track team is largely "underweight". Creatine is also worth considering. Very glad you're involved with fitness. Best wishes.
