Answer
Hi Sunny - Since I am neither a coach or a nutritionist - my best suggestion would be to find a gym in your area and start training with someone who knows the answers to your question.  You can email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in, and I'll send you a contact who can refer you to a gym in your area.
