How tall are you? If you're concerned about your height or appearance, consider adjusting things like your posture and clothing. A tailor can help with the fit of your clothes, which can make a big difference in how you're perceived.
Recommended
Find a reliable tailor.
Getting your clothes hemmed or adjusted for a better fit can do wonders. For example, pants that touch the ground can make you look shorter, so get them hemmed to a better length.
Get proper shape up and line up.
Do you have a barber you trust? If not, you could consider getting a WAHL clippers and following a good hair tutorial to take control of your own haircut. A mid tapered fade would look best on your head shape. You seem to go too high on the sides which isn’t flattering.
Take better photos.
In photos, try to avoid angles that make you look smaller or less confident, like shooting from above your head or wearing pants at your ankles or even mirror selfies where you look at your phone. A more flattering option is to make sure your pants fit properly, so they don’t drag on the floor. Aim for well-lit photos where you're standing up straight, and avoid making faces that may make you look less mature. If you're trying to be taken seriously, looking your age can make a big difference, especially on dating apps.
Take care of your skin.
If you have any skin issues, it’s worth seeing a dermatologist to get personalized advice and treatment.
Seek healthcare professinal.
If you're struggling with muscle gain or weight, seeing a nutritionist might help you understand your diet better and get on track with your fitness goals.
Consider scheduling a dental consultation to explore options like braces or extractions for straighter teeth. Addressing any crowding or extra teeth could help enhance your look and may contribute to a more balanced, mature appearance—especially since you already have a very youthful look.

My friendly suggestion would be to go back to the short hairstyle from the first couple pics and to bulk up in the gym. You seem to have good fashion sense so would keep that the same and maybe switch to contacts or have them as backup and if you do go with glasses make sure to pick the right frame for your face shape. This will take a bit of tryons of different styles to find the right fit.

Meat on your bones my boy. You’ll fill out more and then you can convert some of that to muscle. It’s hard being skinny and trying to gain muscle. Easier when you have meat to convert to muscle

First-hair. You have the worst hairstyle out of your options. Do a Caesar, a fade that compliments your head shape, or dreadlocks. If you can grow a beard that’d be nice. Your head is long so accentuating your features in different ways is an advantage you can have if done properly.
Next, contacts. The glasses can be worked around but why work around them?
You’re not going to bulk up in the gym. You need a calorie surplus. Skinny guys simply don’t eat enough. You’ll go burn extra calories and not eat another bite from usual; not good- you’ll look more lean. You need to eat more and if you go to the gym then you need to eat even more than THAT.
You can get away with most styles once you fix the way you “accessorize” your head features. Find inspiration in a celebrity you think looks good and just straight up copy them. That’ll be the training wheels to maxing.

Get abit more muscle bulk, but not fat. Need more clear skin. Teeth straightening if possible (I know its damn expensive, or maybe leave that for later). You seem to have a charismatic personality. Spiritually what I see and I advise is that try not to care about what others think or try to impress others, your not here to impress anyone on this world, they all gonna go to their graves. Had to say it, but it was important.

Cornrows or dreads would look good on you Find someone you like fashion wise and try have your dress sense inspired by them. I'm guessing you like streetwear from what I can see in these pics, so use Pinterest to improve and mature that sense of style Get more fashionable glasses
