Any idea why i am NOT losing any muscle mass despite not being to the gym or done any form of exercises in the past 3 years?
I think maintaining muscle even without exercise is a good sign of your health in some ways. People who are losing mass too quickly while taking time off sounds like a catabolizing issue. Nobody should have to lift constantly to maintain muscle when the body should be sparing muscle ideally -- not wasting it away consistently like it is stressed or malnourished or something.
In fact you should be able to gain a bit of muscle (not look like a stick or "skinny fat") even through anabolism without working out much at all if you get your hormones and metabolism right, to which adding some exercise would only enhance results further most likely.
In other words the stereotypical "skinny wimp" archetype of a non-lifter probably points to health issues more than a realistic example of an ideally healthy person who just doesn't do much resistance training or particular workouts but still doesn't look "sickly" or etc. like what some might think (or in other words the archetype suggests people who don't work out a certain way or keep working out must be sickly and weak when that isn't exactly how it works).
