Yes, go to the gym.

Lift heavy things. Put them down again. Repeat.

Eat right.

5X5 is a great starting point, like Wooly said.

Yes go to the gym. This is my program. It'll help you hit bigger size and numbers. It might not be for you though. There's plenty out there. Some are shit and some aren't. It also depends on the physique you want. And always practice good form or you gonna snap shit up. Google form if you need to.

Becareful with heavy lifts...actually avoid them untill youre 18ish. Things like: squats, deadlifts, snatches and cleans. Do those with lower weights if need be.

I might get scolded for this. The exercises I mentioned are some of the most important compound lifts...and you WILL need to do them later...just becareful. At your age your body is still very much in the development stage and you don't want to hinder that.
