Good deal..I'm kind of the other way around .Thin as a stick and unable to gain weight until the past year and now at 59 gaining only around the middle. I look like I might be about to give birth any moment now! 
About 10 years ago I had plenty of muscle from hauling scrap metal around all day and then for reasons even doctors couldn't explain the muscle began to vanish and my legs were pretty close to useless. I thought (and so did my doc) that I had ALS, but that wasn't the case. The loss of muscle stabilized and I'm able to walk without a cane, but no matter how much I work out my legs they just won't get stronger. I'm sure age and smoking has a lot to do with it .
Anyway , congratulations and keep at it .
