No, VD.
I was 6 foot 1 but 170 to 175. For 9 years my weight never changed back and forth more than 3 - 5 pounds. Even though I have ran serious for the past 7 years, high school/college and post college, the weight never changed until working 40 hour weeks outside this past couple months and 15 hours in a hot kitchen at a restraunt.
I now weigh 158 - 162 and am running about 110 a week. Personally I am glad for the change. I eat and drink enough to nutritionally I am fine. Don't waste your money on protein powder if you don't have to. You are at a good running weight for your height, be happy for that. If you are not a serious runner than suck up plenty of protein. From what I have heard you shouldn't take more than about 30 grams of protein at a time, otherwise you are just wasting it due to your body not being able to take it in.
Stay hydrated. Good luck.

Calories are what cause you to gain/lose weight, not magical powders. There are many fine-tuning strategies you could employ in terms of obtaining a certain body composition once you gain enough weight to reach your desired weight, but until then, you must consume more calories. It is as simple as that.
Do not knock magic powders doc. There are things out there you could not dream of...
You suck Harry, and your mom
You obviously are not drinking enough. Your body is telling you to drink at least a 6-pack a day.
