Laughed out loud on the part where your mom spotted you for pushups, lol.

There are lots of good exercises you can do at home. Keep doing them and get your diet straight and you will definitely see results. Best of luck man.

Get a resistance band for 8$ and look up some excersizes on YT (I recommend AthleanX)

Pushups and pull ups. Google body weight work outs.

There’s still quite a lot you can do for your upper body without a gym. Get a pull-up bar and some gymnastic rings. See the bodyweightfitness subreddit’s wiki for a routine.

Kettlebells are a good way to load the lower body. Dip bars and parallettes are useful too. Parallettes esp useful if you have wrist issues.

Search google for “GMB wrist routine” for some wrist strengthening exercises.

You can afford to mountain bike but a 150/year gym is too expensive?? An entry level mtb costs around $1000.
Your whole post makes no sense and you're constantly contradicting yourself.
You said you're in college, so why not use the gym there. I've never heard of a college without a gym...

Look up "Team Semi 1000 pushups in 40 minutes" and copy his technique. He does 25 pushups per minute for 40 minutes, but use your own number.

I started off at 5 then got up to 12-13 per minute in 3-4 months and made some gainzzz dawg

Since you are throwing around money, pay AJA Cortes/GLO/or someone like that to put together something for you.

Red flags for you to ponder:

she says i am only allowed to join a gym the day graduate or move out.

Parenting here in asia is bit different than in the western nations.

Hint: It doesn't matter about parenting. Boundaries are boundaries. It is your life. It is your potential woman. If you don't have boundaries for your parents, you wont have boundaries for others. This is a cycle that I had to learn to break.
