There’s no perfect replacement. Pull-ups and push-ups with added tempos, leg raises. Legs are a bit tougher. Jump squats?

Pushups, fill two jugs with water and use as weights.

Standard push ups aren't going to do it. You need to progress through pike push ups and then handstand push ups (against a wall is fine). This will build your shoulders.

Dips. Find some parallel bars or similar. These will build your triceps.

Pull ups obviously. If pull ups are getting easier fill a ruck sack with some weight. Pull ups will build your lats like nothing else. Use chin up grip to focus on your biceps.

Legs will be harder to build without weights, but if you progress to pistol squats you will be doing pretty well.

Yes, you will get bigger using weights. But if that's not an option as your question implies then you need to start doing advanced calisthenics. Don't listen to people who say that calisthenics won't help you build muscle when they only know press ups.

your family got a garage?

get a job, save money, buy a power cage, bar, bench, weights. can do for about $700 USD

is there a park with outdoor exercise gear? do chins, dips, push-ups, one-legged squats, lunges (put some heavy shit in a backpack)

Be creative. What I did during early times of covid I used 20kg salt bag or rice bag and ordered myself a pair of resistance bands and that’s literally was enough for a whole workout.

If you have a bar you can different variation of pull ups. You can progress by buying weighted vest or doing pull-ups with only one or two finger on your other hand. This way you put most of the load on your other hand, next set you switch the arms.

Push ups are useless after some time so you have to progress with dips or one arm push ups. You can check some youtube videos.

Hand stand push ups are great for your soulders, traps and triceps. Once you reach 3x10 on floor you can progress by doing them with these push-up stands which will increase the rage of motion and make them even harder.

Since you don't have additional weight with you have to be creative with your progression.

This way you can get pretty big in the upper body department only with calisthenics. For the lower body it sucks a little bit, because only sufficient exercise are the one leg squats and they are very difficult.

Also keep your protein and calorie intake in check.
