First you need to know what is it that you are referring to by 'body mass'.
Body mass includes both your muscles and fat. Fat and muscle are very different entities. To build up your body, of course you want as much muscle as possible and less fat (so that the fat doesn't cover your muscle and spoil the nice curves).
Secondly, you can never convert fat into muscle. So don't think that 'hey I get fat first than after that I build my muscle' because you are wasting your time on gaining fat and slimming down but not building actual muscle.
Thirdly, to build muscle you need protein. Protein is the main raw material that your muscles are built from.
Forthly, to do work with your muscle (lift weight), you need carbohidrate as the fuel for the muscle to contract.
So, if you don't take enough carbohidrate before you train, you cannot train hard because your muscles don't have the fuel. Then if you train like mad but don't consume enough protein after training, then your hardwork is wasted because after your training your body do not have the raw material (protein) to enlarge your muscles.
Conclusion: to build muscle, take carbohidrate before training with weights (do resistance training, not aerobic training like jogging or badminton) and then eat a lot of protein after training. Chicken bre@sts are good natural source of protein. Or you might prefer taking protein powder (Personally I don't trust processed food, might have side-effects.). But remember two things:
i)Don't take too much protein than what you actually need, because you will be killing your kidneys.
ii)Don't overtrain and injure yourself. It's better to train less than to overtrain.
That's my 2 cents.
