How do I look big and strong and like an "adult"? Basically I'm going to be a 16 year old boy..I'm thin and have acne..how do I get rid of acne,and gain weight and grow even more taller? Because if I eat fatty foods (to grow big and tall and strong), I'll get acne..and vice versa..I'm really stuck on what I should do..im eating a decent amount of food...I'm washing my face twice a day,and I'm putting some acne medicines) Should I switch to a specific medicine? Should I do some specific workout exercises? Should I eat something specific? Or will my acne go away in some time(if yes,when?) and when will I gain weight and height? ( if yes,when?) And at what age will I start to look like an "adult"?

Acne is tough: see if you can get a Dr appt and see about doxycycline. Gaining weight is protein and carbs. Meats and pasta. Building muscle requires working out. Join a gym or look into body weight home exercises. Push ups, squats, moving heavy stuff. Workout daily eating prior and after as well.

All great questions. When it comes to acne anything you see advertised on TV or over the counter really doesn't cut it and can usually only handle minor issues. If you really want to get rid of acne or have some level of control over it you need a prescription cream. Over the counter stuff doesn't have the medicinal ingredients of a prescription which is what you need here.
It will eat at the acne and free your pores of what causes it. In addition you still have to keep up with washing your face. You can make an appointment with your GP. They usually have samples of different acne meds they can give you. It really helped me when I was your age.
EDIT: YMCA and community gyms owned by cities are coming back online gradually as people are vaccinated for COVID-19 and enough fully. You may have to wait a bit but once you can get into those places you should by all means do it. It makes a ton of difference.
Avoid fast food and have it as an occasional thing (I know I'm bad with it too) as that can cause a ton of problems and with weight and health in general if you consume it a lot. Eat as healthy as you can and make good choices. It will help all around with physical appearance and body. You have to have your body and mind healthy and working in synch.
When it comes to height it really has a ton to do with heredity and genes. If your parents are tall and or shorter for that matter odds are when fully grown you will have a similar stature as they do. You're still growing so don't fret. At 16 you are still in stages of puberty and not a full adult yet.
Weight is controlled by exercising regularly and eating and drinking the right things such as water and cut out the pop. Juice is actually pretty bad if you drink a lot of it so said a nutritionist I saw a few years back. Drink tons of water.
If you want to become stronger you might start off lifting weights. One of the best things you can do is find a YMCA location in your town or city. They have memberships for families, teens and adults and if you can't afford the fees they have payment plans that work. It's usually about $50 a month here for adult one. You'll get access to a swimming pool, track, weight rooms and organized classes in anything from karate, kung fu, cycling etc etc that you can access as part of said membership. You can cancel easily any time and it's not a contract. Avoid at all costs any gym with a contract that you cannot get out of.
A lot of cities have community centers that they own where they have pools, weights and exercise options including team sports for a reasonable monthly fee without an iron clad contract or anything of the sort. Check those out too.
Also, walk every single day. It doesn't have to be this huge, long walk but if you can walk to and from places or around your neighborhood constantly it will make a huge difference over time in physical appearance and strength. It's all good. Don't fret.
