I thank everyone for their support, especially on the advice to increase my protein intake. On average, my daily protein consumption is about 0.64g to 0.82g per pound of body weight which amounts to between 123g to 157g. This is sufficient for my muscle needs albeit others may rightfully argue in favor of 1g or more per pound body weight. Nevertheless, I thank you all for the observation and advice.
