could be, i'm a libra ascendant

though come to think of it my ex fwbs is a leo ascendant and he was just average height had that top heavy muscular on top skinny legs leo thing going on though no south node

other aspects to the ascendant might make a difference too and anything in the first house will have an effect i also have venus conjunct ascendant, mars square ascendant, mercury sextile ascendant, moon opposite ascendant, uranus sextile ascendant and my scorpio pluto is 1st house

I am virgo rising (ruled by mercury) and also have mars squaring the ascendant. At 5'2 I have a shorter stature than the average female.

im a virgo rising in vedic too (chitra, mars ruled nakshatra) my first house virgo venus is in hasta, ketu is chitra

i have mars square ascendant too (in vedic i have it 4th house sag, cap and 3rd house in western)

There are other factors as well. For example, back when food was harder to come by and store there were many males and females not developing properly (often too skinny), which the United States considered a problem as it was limiting their draft pool (and plenty of females were having a hard time turning into women who could have baby soldiers and taxpayers, er, babies) so the school lunch was instituted which was specifically designed to fatten them up (and male gym class was also harder for guys to turn it into muscle and endurance to make them draft worthy, while females needed more body fat to properly develop the ability to reproduce, so their physical standards were less and sometimes even discouraged from excessive physical activity, all a clever plan, IMO). 'Course thanks to technology and other factors times have changed, and the government has been slow (but progressing) in changing the lunches to be something less fattening since now obesity has become a problem. Again, I don't see the stars at work here.

And maybe Mercury in prominence with aspects to Ascendant?? I'm Gemini Sun and Virgo Moon with Mercury conjunct Mars on the Midheaven... and Mercury square Asc is one of the closest aspects in my chart. I also have Neptune closely square my Ascendant.

My brother is similarly built. Not as thin-boned but very long limbs and looks bony. He does not have South Node conjunct Asc though. He is Sagittarius rising with Uranus, Neptune and Saturn in 1st house, but all in Capricorn and not close to Asc. Saturn and Neptune are both closely parallel to his Ascendant though. His South Node is conjunct his Leo Sun and both are trine Asc though the orb isn't very close.

If I'm a glutton that still somehow stays skinny, and looks even more skinny... then my brother is the typical ascetic who would live on air if he could. He gets it from our mother.

Mother isn't very thin boned, not like I am... and not as long limbed as us kids either, but she's definitely skinny and bony. Cancer is her rising sign. Her Ascendant is closely trine Saturn and Neptune. She has no planets in the first house. She actually has North Node and Jupiter closely parallel to Asc (you'd think that would be kind of the opposite of skinny).

But these influences are in relation to the natives surroundings only. Which include family and country- not set in stone within DNA. For example: In Mexico a man of 5'9 is tall and above average height. While in Deutchland that same height is shorter than average. Someone with a Leo ascendant (or whatever influence might make a person tall I'm not sure which those planetary influences are) in Mexico might be a very tall 5'10 While someone with the same ascendant raised in Deutchland would be a very tall 6'5.

I know 3 girls who eat SO damn MUCH, I've seen it with my eyes I was almost living with 2 of them for a while, they are always skinny. One of them is really obsessed with gaining weight but she can't. Just one of them is active the other two are sitting all day long.
They all have Gemini ASC nothing else in common (maybe there is an aspect I haven't observed but their planets are in different signs). They are all in the Cap Neptune and Uranus, Scorpio Pluto generation.

People with Saturn/Cap occupying their first tend to be thin too (unless afflicted)

Aries/Mars occupying the ASC should give a thin body too.

EDIT: I have Mercury in 1st H (I wish I could get the same results as a Gemini ASC)
My ASC is in Cancer opposite Uranus and Neptune too and trine Pluto.

Libra ASC must be thin too but I'm not sure Venus in 1st would give same results.

I'm not sure about Aqua ASC though.

'Course if a single person is very skinny which is unusual for that family (and society) then I'd be curious about their chart, though I'd also wonder if it was an eating disorder, chemical effect from so much medication (which can even pollute the drinking water), or even a mutation.

generally a lot of people in a family are similar weights largely due to sharing dietary habits, and genetics are a smaller factor than most people like to make them out to be

that being said usually people share signs and placements etc with their parents and family so you'll see some of the same things and in vedic it gets even more interesting because you'll see the same nakshatras repeat as well

to show you what i mean using vedic (so sidereal placements whole sign houses):

my mother and i both have 12th house suns 1st house venus

i'm pisces (revati) moon/rahu, virgo (chitra) ascendant virgo (chitra) ketu and hasta venus, leo (magha) sun, cancer (ashlesha) mercury, sag (purva ashadha) mars

older brother (different father) is scorpio (anuradha) moon, aquarius (dhanishta) ascendant, virgo (uttara phalguni) sun, virgo (hasta) venus and mercury, cancer (pushya) mars

younger brother (same father) is cancer (ashlesha) moon, scorpio (jyestha) sun/venus, sag (moola) mercury, and taurus (krittika) mars (retrograde) unknown ascendant

mother is a pisces moon (revati), virgo sun (hasta) libra (swati) mercury and venus with a libra ascendant (vishaka), gemini mars (ardra)

father is a gemini (ardra) moon/venus, cancer sun (ashlesha) cancer merury (pushya), virgo mars (uttara phalguni) unknown ascendant

niece (older brother's daughter, he's a single father i dont know her mother's birthday) is a gemini (probably punarvasu) moon, libra mercury (swati), libra sun/venus (vishaka), sag mars (purva ashada) unknown ascendant

so not only do you see some of the same placements sign wise, but you can narrow them further down to nakshatra and see similarities too

i wouldn't blame school lunches btw (though in that case parents are entirely responsible for a child's poor nutrition) because most people eat poorly regardless and i've yet to meet anyone overweight who didn't also overeat without being as active as they'd need to be to keep weight off

and that being said my younger brother and i in spite of having the same parents have very different body types he's significantly taller, built much bigger (just bone structure wise), and is overweight because genetics works in a way where there can be huge differences even between siblings as far as what genes someone gets

Personally I have found, the ones with Venus conjunct Jupiter tend to gain weight very fast and also lose it as fast.

One of the 3 girls I talked about has Jupiter conjunct Venus. I have it myself but it's loose. She eats like a pig, all of those 3 do and they never gain weight.
