Yes, you are old enough to do weight training and increase your muscle mass. It is very important when you are starting out to get proper instruction in exercise technique. If you do not know exactly how to do an exercise, you may hurt yourself and retard your training.
Just as two runners with the same training may run at different speeds during a race, so two strength athletes with the same training may have different results. It does not matter if you put on muscle slowly or quickly. If you train properly, keep training, eat well, and avoid overtraining, you will increase your muscle mass and get stronger and bigger.
Stick to the basic exercises (namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) and their variations. Until you really master perfect exercise technique, choose to use a weight that will permit you to get at least 5 reps.
