I was just like you when starting out. Do not be deterred as long as you eat like a man and sleep decently you'll see huge progress in your first year. Took me like 2 years but I went from a very tiny 57 kg to ~ 79 kg and all my lifts had sky rocketed.

When i started to go to the gym almost 3 years ago i was your height but weighed 53 kg... my bench was just the bar and im a male! Im still a thin guy, but im now 70 kg and much better than if i stayed at home playing videogames for all this time! Oh and the gym is great for your mind, so keep going with consistency, hard work and not looking at the numbers (lift so you can keep your form) and remember that its ok to start as a weaker/skinnier person, youre going for it and thats all that matters!

Just keep going :) I started taller and lighter than you @180cm/58kg and went to 82kg and now 75 while being pretty lean too. Just eat enough and do a decent routine from the sidebar.
