How big can I get without looking like an overcompensating manlet?

Asking 4 friend.

It's why I stayed at 135-140 lbs for that long. The stocky look doesn't fit shorter dudes as much.

So how much should I weigh ideally at 5'5"?

I fill out most of my shirts and pants right now but they're all H&M clothing.

Gaining 20 more lbs means I'll need a new wardrobe.

I'd say once you have a 2:1 width:height ratio, you could probably stop.

I’ve seen dudes irl with similar stats who were shredded and had decent but proportional size for their frame. Probably on some kind of gear to look like that but I could tell sloots in the area were mirin.
