Controversial Whats your weight ?

Gaining muscles is slow process.
You have to shock your muscles and focus on progressive overload.
Don't know what I do is right way but this is what I do - 6 times/week gym.
What I do is moderate weight+ high reps (fixed a benchmark that I need to hit 15-20 reps) depending upon the muscles.
For instance --
Monday - bicep dumbbell curl
Warm up
5 kg - 20 reps
7.5 kg - 20 reps
10 kg - 14 reps
Then next time
Warm up
Now I will start with 10 kg (1st working set) and try to get 20 reps. If gets it then I will move onto 12.5 if not then I will continue to try to get 20 reps on 10kg.
This helps in tracking reps and weight for progressive overload.
3 weeks like this ...
Then one week I deliberately go super heavy... 6-8 reps range.
Also, there are certain exercises in which I focus on lifting heavy than more reps....
Because different muscles responds differently.
Then go calorie surplus - with high protein+ good carbs+ good fats

I've gotten a bit chubby lately but I'm not too concerned, starting tomorrow I'll be working out constantly each day, eating healthy and doing a couple of martial arts.
Of course I'll take my time because I don't want to strain or overwork my self, but I have to do this anyway, because I want to be a boxer/fighter.

Guys don't believe in gym.
I went to gym for 8 months to increase my weight and muscle.
I was 78 at that time and came back with 69 kgs.

You went into calorie deficit so lost weight.
If you want to gain then you have to work out efficiently+ eat properly with dedication and consistency.
Also, it will definitely help you quit your alcohol addiction. I don't drink much nor I eat junk food because I don't want to mess my diet schedule..and, it's because once you start getting results you will get more dedicated.
Give it another shot
Nice!
Make sure you start again from tomorrow and no matter what - go to gym daily at any cost.
Once you develop this as habit then results which you seek will follow
I'm also thinking of doing stuff like this

I think I'll be good at them because I've always had unnaturally strong legs and I'm also thinking of a way to insta kill someone with a single kick, I won't ever use the technique unless it's absolutely necessary (like the person I'm fighting is very aggressive and has a weapon or something) but it'd be incredibly useful and cool if I ever did have to use it.

My diet is mostly vegetarian, with 7-10 eggs per week as the non veg option (mostly stacked on the days I work out).
Breakfast is usually mostly grains/carbs (usual Indian diet), lunch a mix of grains/vegetables/proteins of probably mixed in 40/30/30, dinner usually with berries and nuts
For physical activity. I walk 5 days a week for around 4-5kms each day. 2-3 days a week of 40-60 mins workout. Another 2-3 days, I do very light stuff like stretches and pull up.
I lost a lot of fat/weight over the past year (lost 5+ kgs), and became more healthy. Even though my muscles have stayed the same and not improved.
If you want to lose weight, I think the best thing to do from a dietary perspective is:
- cut carb, I cut it down by like 40% compared to what I used to eat
- avoid processed food, I almost fully stopped it
- intermittent fasting (14-16 hrs break between dinner and breakfast) at least thrice a week, maintaining calorie intake is fine
