i have the same body type, fairly broad shoulders and a good skeletal build but i cannot put on weight for the life of me. i didn't start working out till i was 20 and i personally think that is a good time to start. your body has had time to for the most part fill out and mature. i work out 4-5 days a week and about an hour to and hour and a half each time. diet is everything for putting on weight, you want to eat a lot but eat good food and take protein and glutamine supplements (with a regular workout schedule). one thing i had to come to realize is that i don't have the genetics to be really big, no matter how much i eat or work out i will never be hulk hogan. after two years of solid working out and good diet, i topped out at 175lbs @ 6'2". that is still fairly small but i have very good muscle definition and am actually fairly strong. you actually have a very good body time to have a "nice body," my friends hate working out with me because they can never get that muscle definition. to sum up, get a good work out regiment and diet, and don't beat yourself up, no matter what some people just can't get huge.
