Don't worry, plenty of guys have tight foreskin. You may want to see a gp to make sure everything is fine.

Usually the course of action to fix it is stretching or circumcision. Obviously you won't want to go for the latter one straight away. Foreskin, as the name says, is just skin and skin can be very stretchy. So you should try stretching it around every time you have a shower and so on. If you just do that for long enough, it will stretch out so that you can pull it back with no problems.

Just think about how big some people get, and especially how big pregnant women can get in just a couple months. The skin doesn't just rip and there's no hole it comes from or anything. It's just very stretchy and adjusts to needing to cover more as required.
