What weight is considered 'big' for someone who is 6'4

I am 6'4 i've been weight lifting for about 1 month, i've gone from 79kg to 83kg, but still have a 'lanky' look... What weight do I have to get to to look big / well built rather than lanky?

Thanks

You've gained 4kg in a month? You know most of that is going to be fat? If you want it to be mostly muscle then you need to get a lot more patient

If you don't just get fat then I think you'd look like you properly lift somewhere round 95kg. But big depends how big. Find the height and weight of someone who's build you'd want and compare it via BMI

4kg of muscle in a month is doable for a newbie (newbie gains remember), but to be making that kind of progress I'm assuming you have a structured workout and diet plan?

Ideal weight if you JUST want to look 'not lanky' would probably be about 90kg.

At least 100 kg, unless you're shredded.
lifting what? You haven't said what your actually doing exercise wise.
You will also have to account for plateaus which will happen at several points in your training.
Train, eat and the lanky look will disappear but it will take much longer than a month!

Depends on muscle insertions and bone structure but generally I'd say atleast around 225lbs/100kg to look like you lift at that height.

How did you change your nutrition? Losing weight and gaining weight are both very challenging endeavors. I’ve struggled to lose weight my whole life and even decided to buy wegovy online in order to make this happen. It takes lots of discipline.
For years, I tried countless diets and nutrition plans, each promising remarkable results. I cut out carbs, went on juice cleanses, and even tried intermittent fasting. Despite my best efforts, the weight would either stubbornly stick around or come back with a vengeance.
