If your arms haven't increases that is pretty odd. Well, maybe what the other guest said, that the fat that dissapeard was taken over the muscle, might be true. Muscle weighs more than fat also...odd.
Maybe you are not eating, eat eat eat. For your weight you might try eating at least 200 grams of prot, at least! Try eating 2 more meals than what you are eating at the moment,
i.e. Protein shake and 2 bananas before going to sleep, and 2 tuna sandwiches (1 can with 3 slices of rbead) with 2 glasses of milk between one of your meals. Hopefully u can try that.
Your msucles will grow

I thought it was a very tiny size for a man in his mid-twenties and weighing 150 odd lbs, so I started lifting weights to increase it to at least 13. Is there something else I need to do in order to increase the size, or is weight training alone sufficient?

If the fat had been reduced, but the muscle had not grown, then your arm would have decreased in size. If it has not decreased, then this means that your muscle has grown. You have only been lifting weights for a couple of months, so give it some more time and I'm sure you'll see some results.

Two months ago, if I touched my chest, arms or shoulders, or even the lower portions, I would feel they were sagging. Now even without having to tighten my biceps, they are so strong. Also the shape around my shoulders (deltoids) is extremely good. But I still can't help but wonder why there is no increase in size. I assumed with weight training that muscle would increase and fat would decrease. Of course, fat has been reduced in my case, yet there is no increase in size. Thats why I was wondering whether I was doing something wrong.
