I'm 25 year old male 1.70m tall weighting 70kg. My bone structure as you can see from the attachment is very small, appears to be the size of a woman. I've got a small wrist and skinny hands and fingers. I think I am considered an ectomorph maybe?
I am skinny fat, I'm rocking the moobs and got a belly sticking out as well as my ass, a little too much than usual (thanks anterior pelvic tilt!), puffy cheeks and I think my hips are a little curvy. At the moment I am a mess and I feel like if I try to lose the only fat that I've got, Im just gonna go back to being a skeleton. (see attachment)
Has anybody here with my type of bone structure managed to build some muscle and look more manly? Is it worth giving a try or should I just get some implants and turn into a woman.

Is there anything I can do about this or should I just give up?

There is something very bad about your attitude about this, drop the namecalling yourself and the defeatist attitude, if you want to build muscle, improve your posture, become manlier, you can. It's up to you, all you need to do is focus on compound, I suggest you jump on to Fierce 5 https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...9678631&page=1
Your wrist look fine, your posture needs to be improved
Get on some good heavylifting and eat alot, you ll feel better once you get them deadlifts in that's a promiseI got this

Ok man, don’t know if being srs about implants but under no circumstance DONT DO THAT. Focus on lifting as hard as you possibly can and eat like you mean it. Eat a lot and often and stay consistent training. Your posture can be fixed, and your bone structure is fine you have completely normal wrists. Don’t look at your body and get sad, look at it and get mad...use it as fuel and don’t give up brother. You may feel cursed or something but anything can be fixed with the right mindset and if you want, think about how u will feel when your jacked af and look back on who u used to be

Fuk what everyone says and just train. Don’t try to lose fat, focus on building muscle and your body will even out but if you eat a lot u have to train even harder but u will get big. Don’t let this life pass you by bro, grab life by the balls and take what you want from it and under no circumstances become a woman lmao

Here's to being skinny, when I graduated high school at 18 I was 6'3" and 143 lbs. I hit 6'5" 3 years later but was still only 155-160 lbs. Now I'm 6'5" and 210, but that took another 20 years.
OP there is no such thing as an ectomorph. You know what "ectomorph" is code for? An underdeveloped undereater.
Start lifting some iron, and start eating. And I mean EAT A LOT. You could stand to gain at least 2-3 lbs a month while lifting on a good program.All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

Ok honestly you're not anywhere near as bad as you think you are, there is definitely nothing wrong with your wrists!!! I think most of your perceived issues are really just your posture?
It might be well worthwhile having a chat to a decent personal trainer about some exercises that can help building muscle in your back and shoulders to help to improve your posture. At the moment (in that photo, anyway) you are curving your back quite a lot and that is probably gonna cause you physical pain in the long run.
Like the others said, you don't need to worry about losing fat, just getting your posture right is the most important thing. And to stop beating yourself up!!! You're still young and healthy, get fit and the world is your oyster!

I'd say you're fine. The best looking guys I know at the Gym started out skinny as planks, and now they're beefed ones who can make nuns breaks vows. In my experience, it's the heavier ones that have a harder time reaching physique goals.
Don't sweat it. Just train and eat like everybody says. Also: do some research to see what exercises you need to do to strengthen posture. Bad posture can sometimes be caused by insufficient muscle development, not skeletal problems. But don't take my word on that, consider consulting a doctor to be sure.

Honestly genetics has nothing to do with this and it's all about lifestyle factors.
Astronauts are supposed to be in the best shape of their lives because in space you can only maintain not build (they are there for research, not body building. If they don't maintain in space, they actively lose bone mass.
What did you spend your age 12-25 doing? Sitting 12 hours a day playing video games? Fapping? Vitamin D deficient? Eating only 1 meal a day? In that sense you are no different than an astronaut in space.
Learn how to cook. Go on walks while keeping an up right posture. Do compound exercises with the bar but warm up properly first.
You're a bit late but you can still be healthy and more rounded. Your pictures indicate a low BMI which is unhealthy.
I was an ectomorph but now I eat 4-8 meals a day and roughly 3000-3500 calories. I am 20 years old, 6' 170lb. 4 months ago I was 140 lb.
I do squats 3 times a week so a lot of those gains are in my legs and mid section waist area.That's what we do in this ****, brah.
