Don't worry, I was merely joking, I am quite happy with 78 kilo at 187 cm 
It's just a little bit of fat gathering round my hips every winter that make me feel uncomfortable wearing Jackets in S or M, especially winter jackets.
I am an outdoor guy, also jobwise, spending most of the days from April to late October out in the nature, working with kids in the woods, surveying for my archaeology, working at the iron age house open air museum, where I do courses with people all ages (building primitive selfbows, shooting primitive selfbows, fire making, blacksmithing), building prehistoric houses with mostly hand tools, most times only together with one companion. I do this since over 25 years. When I was young, during my University years, I spent all summer at excavation sites, working as a helper in the diggings, shoveling, pushing wheelbarrows full with moist sand...
Only the winters are "not much to do time". In the winters I gather vine curled walking sticks in our forests and prepare them for their seasoning, take the seasoned from last year and make them into fine walking sticks. I have always worked physically hard with my body and I eat what I want.
Years ago, when I had gained to 84 kilos (not through muscles), I had been on "paleo"-diet, just to see, what it does. I lost a lot, mostly water and belly fat, could see a six pack, just because muscles were visible again. But I looked sick in my face, unhappy, I stuck to this diet for too long, over a year. Blood values were fantastic, but then I got a bacterial infection from a wound and my body nearly gave up, kidneys are at 60% now, which is stable, but makes me weaker. Building wooden constructions from oak trees is a very hard task now. I am turning 57 soon. Have one old disk fracture, three disc prolapses, healed foot fracture, one healed arm fracture, two longs scars on my left leg. It was mainly the many years of blacksmithing and wood house building that took it's toll on my body. I know why my ancestors rarely made it over 60
