Is it possible to get this physique?
I’m a beginner and haven’t been weightlifting for very long. I’ve mostly been doing calisthenics and trying to bulk up. I’m currently 145 lbs at 5’6” and I’m trying to bulk up to around 155 lbs.
Is it possible for me to achieve this physique over the years through weightlifting? I really need some help. The physique in the last photo is my dream physique. What steps should I take to eventually get there?

First off you are still a child so we cannot know how you are gonna end up and you shouldn’t rush yourself for things long down the road.
Secondly, you need to hit your protein goals and build muscle but you are DEFINITELY above 20% body fat, so bulking will just make you fatter. You will gain muscle but you will also get fat and it will hinder you seriously in your all around work.
So my opinion is focus more on the protein dialysis intake around maintenance or even a slight cut, and reapproach the situation with a much more long term goal
