I don’t understand the question?
What kind of feedback are you looking for here? Are you looking for an honest assessment of your current physique? An assessment of your training/nutritional/lifestyle choices? If so, you’ll need to provide some details.

Umm have you ever messed around with PEDs of any sort? SARMs, AAS, etc…?
You aren’t exactly fat, but the placement of such fat leads me to believe you might have some estrogen imbalances - in my entirely unprofessional opinion.
This being said, losing a few (10-20lbs, depending) could help you look a good bit better - regardless of genetics.

How long have you engaged in regular exercise and what is your current nutritonal approach?

After 10 years of hard and smart exercise along with a correct diet we would be able to tell.
But no matter how shitty your genetics are, your biggest problem seems to be work that just hasnt been put in.

Usually I’m not into “brutal honesty” with strangers because I think it is uncalled for and silly. However you have framed your inquiry in such a manner to begin with.
Yes, this is skinny fat.
No, you don’t have top-tier genes for physique aesthetics. And neither do I. But this doesn’t mean you can’t look good after training and eating right for even as little as a year. You might even look like a different person in three years!

- Yes, these are small muscles covered with fat.
- Whether your genetics are good for developing muscles, no one can say at this stage. It may be easier for your body to build muscle than someone else who looks better than you.
- If you start training and eating properly / according to the goals / your Shoulders and Chest will become noticeably wider than your waist.
Why does it seem to me that you have developed gynecomastia /I may be wrong/. It is no coincidence that they asked if you used any stimulants.
Placement of fat on chest?
I appreciate the brutal honesty

So right now are my shoulders narrow
Placement of fat, well everywhere, but specifically fat on chest.
I do believe you need significant time training and eating properly to actually tell anything about your genetics.

I’m not sure if you’ve realized this or not, but the more information you give us, the more we can help you. Your answers have all been short and provide minimal detail… not sure if you actually want help or not.

I’m still struggling with what the question is.
Are your genetics shit? Impossible to tell without a lot more training and nutritional effort under your belt. Also, probably irrelevant, because the fact that you’re 20 and have all 4 limbs means you have the genetics to look better than 99% of the people you’ll ever meet if you’re willing to put the work in. To beat the remaining 1%, you’d probably have had to start working 10 years ago.

You’re not going to like this, but IMO skinny fat is a product of terrible genetics.
But please consider this. When I am asked by a person who is lifting weights and wanting to know their potential, my responses are relative to that person’s potential to complete, whether it is powerlifting or bodybuilding.
I find your response to my question about how much you can bench press lacking enough information. You simply replied 165lbs and failed to mention how many reps. I am left to assume it is your one rep maximum.
IMO, you, like everyone else, can improve their appearance and strength by lifting weights. I would never discourage you from doing so. But if you are asking if you have the genetics to compete, I would say that you have no chance at all of being competitive. Your challenge is to prove me wrong.

Honestly, I see this as close to the average body type if I rounded up the people I use to booze with regularly.
The booze wasn’t the body-maker, you might not even drink, but everything that it led to for my old friends… the takeaways, the bad sleep, the sugar, hating vegetables, calling water boring, drinking soda, never walking anywhere, high stress, late night gaming, the lie-ins, an almost completely sedentary lifestyle and most of all a lack of a long-term desire to improve ones self.
Bollocks to any genetics involved. It’s creating excuses for something before you’ve even properly started. I see people in your shape all the time join the gym and those that stick at it get to where they want to be. Start with cleaning up some things in that list above, get on a decent 3-4day resistance training program, walk a few miles on your rest days (buy a dog), and lets see where you are this time next year.
Typically the amount of effort applied in asking for help ends up being a solid reflection of effort applied elsewhere.
Which, in turn, answers so many questions
