I want to build an aesthetic body as a teenager, do I need to have a specific diet?

I've been weight lifting and working out for a couple months now, and l've definitely seen some gains. However, with this working out l've made no changes to what l eat (for the record, I already eat pretty healthy, all I'm saying is that I don't eat specifically protein heavy foods, etc. now that I'm working out).

But, should l? Should I have a specific diet I'm eating to promote muscle growth, or does it not matter that much at my age (teens)?

@shane50 Absolutely if you are trying to gain muscle you HAVE to eat enough or you won’t gain as much muscle as you could be I can’t fully comment on how much you should eat because you haven’t provided enough information on things like height or weight but a general rule for protein intake is 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh

@shane50 I would highly recommend Jeff Nippard and Renaissance Periodization on Youtube. You will make gains just by consuming their content.
