Other Answers:

• Most all fighters have a natural "fighting weight" at which they perform best. Where you have a combination of good power and also endurance and quickness.You may have to experiment to find your perfect weight... Even pro fighters do. I assume you have a coach.... Ask him.
• I'm very skinny , naturally.I've always seen it as a curse. Being skinnier than girls were depressing as shiit.So when I started martial arts, I gained weight.I've pretty low bodyfat %. My bodyfat remains more or less the same, might have increased slightly since I eat a lot more now. And even though I've gained weight, I'm still faster than when I was skinny.So get toned, try to keep a low bodyfat % (don't overdo it, there's a limit ofc) and keep strenghten/building muslce and you're all good :DKeep fighting!
