I'm still working on slowly gaining muscle mass and weight, to goal of 155Lb.
Without increasing my waist. :)
Gaining muscle without adding some fat is difficult.
Good news is I'm doing okay.
A birthday coming up, I'll be 73 years of age.

Interesting to me that mens pants sizes have changed so much.
This morning I put on a pair of mens carpenter shorts that claim to be waist size 30".
I usually wear size 32/32 pants.
My waist measures 34" at the waistline of the pants. !
Pants are built much different than they used to be.
The waist is not at the belly button, and hasn't been for a long time.
I have 5 pair of expensive pants made by Werner, Pro-Tuff, for police and firemen uniforms,
that I got in May of 1998. size 32.
I cannot comfortably button up one pair that I have never worn. still has tags on them. :)
So, a big difference in pants sizes, and in my waist size from 18 years ago.
I wore those Werner pants at work every weekday back then, comfortably.
It may seem I'm nitpicking to a lot of people on here, since I've never been over 185Lb, but the reason I've never been over 185 is due to that nitpicking. :) and a lot of attention to what I eat, exercise and quality of life.
It has paid off: I feel GREAT! :)
