did you know taht some people can never get fat however much they eat ? it is because of a certain genes and it as you mentioned runs in the family , but on the other most people want to be thin and they spend so much time and energy on it and still fail so i guess you are far better off thin than becoming fat and start another struggle to become thin ! by the way you said your body is ok so why do you care about your fingers ? nobody is gonna say you are thin by looking at your fingers so be kool you are one of the few lucky ones out there 
thats not true. Actually, depending how much you eat of what, lets say you go out and buy a ton of ice cream, you will get a lot of weight. However, the more you eat of healthier foods, lets so more balanced foods, of course then you won't get more fat, unless the foods have a lot of calories.
As for the topic, I was just like you when I was 14 or so, of course im a lot bigger from doing what I will tell you now to do. I went in, and talked to my gym teacher and some of my football coaches. I said hey, I really wanna be a quarterback or linebacker, I got the arm for quarterback, as I'm already 2nd string. But the differences between me and first string, and me and the linebackers is, I'm small. I need to gain weight, and not just weight, muscle. They told me that many people have asked them before, and they said that, the perfect way, is first, get weights at home, or at a gym, or if your at a school, use those. Two, get a powdered protein drink, or just a protein drink. Then three, make one protein drink, drink it, wait half a hour, then work out for about 45 minutes. Do this every other day. I said to them, what kind of workout I should be doing. They told me to start out with low weights, remember low weights for high reps will tone your muscle. Which is what you want at first. So he told me to use low weights, and do weighted sit ups, and about 50 pushups, 50 situps, and 50 bench presses. The next day, do jogging for as long as you can. I did it with a friend, this is usually only used so you can run faster, and for longer distances, I don't know if you would really need it in your case, but I did. The day after that I would use weights. Remember though, to progressively get more weights, and to never, ever weight lift 2 days or more in a row. If you get in the habit of not weight lifting 2 days in a row, you will be fine, but if you do you will get very tired, and its very likely you will get injured. The way you gain the muscle is after you are done wegiht lifting, not during. WHich is why you should allow around 20-24 hours to rest.
hope this helps.
