Hello everyone. I'm 16, and I live with my two brothers (14 and 20). Lately, I've been trying to eat a lot more because I want to get bigger. I'm around 190 lbs, and one of my goals is to gain weight before school starts in two weeks for football. The problem is that I've been stuck between 180–190 lbs since November 2025 and can't seem to gain any more weight. My parents are constantly on my ass for eating too much, even though they're both over 200 lbs. 
One thing that's been driving me insane is that I've started hiding food because my older brother always eats the leftovers. My parents will make good food like steak and shit, but somehow it's always gone before I can get seconds. The other night, I went to get some at around 2 AM, and all the meat was gone—only the potatoes were left. That's when I realized he's the one eating all the good food.
My younger brother is only around 130 lbs, while my older brother is around 230 lbs, so it's pretty obvious who's clearing out the fridge.
I also haven't been to the gym in four months because I owe them about $200 in membership fees. I really need a job, but right now I've mostly been helping with a family member's cleaning business. Most of the time, I'm used as free labor since I don't even get paid.
I recently got my learner's permit, but I haven't gone to any job interviews since my first were dogshit, and the thought of dealing with customers all day honestly sounds miserable. I've been trying to learn day trading like my cousin and get better at Python so I can make money online, but I'm still trash at it.
I've thought about mowing lawns to make some money, but I'm too pussy to go door to door, especially since I don't speak Spanish whille living in bean city.
Anyways, am I wrong for hiding food from my older brother so I can actually fuel my growth? He has a job, so I don't really understand why he always eats the good leftovers instead of buying his own food. It's getting annoying.
If I end up making some money and getting my life together, maybe I'll post an update later.
