Feeling very insufferable despite trying to train properly and I feel like it is pointing to hypogonadism and I have context and need advice

Hi, so I have about 6-7 months of training my lifts increased substantially but I made poor progress on high volume lifts increased on both so now I attempted low volume high intensity only my strength increases and I could probably build up to a 215 bench or 345 hack squat and still look the same, and I get a very poor pump and no localized fatigue despite failing a rep and it feels like my CNS doing all the work and sometines doing partial reps, for more context I am 14 I am 5,10 185lbs and have about 23% bodyfat and have been obese from 5-13 years of age if that points to anything since I heard fat converts into aromatase and can cause hypogonadism and I am seeking advice since I am very unsure what to do people said puberty aids in muscle growth but it is not doing anything for me at all.

I feel like I am in shambles after close to 8 months of lifting 15m I need some advice

Context: I started roughly 7-8 months ago training conventionally since I was very skinnyfat I learned everything how to train close to failure progressive overload good form eating enough protein etc and after 6 months absolutely nothing happened I expected atleast a small visual change and I am not impatient legit tried to see if ant visual change happened but I got fatter with like 2.5lbs of muscle growth then I went to low volume for 2 months nothing happened either since that is powerlifting and now I am going to see a endocrinologist since I likely have hypogynoidism, and I am being mature and will NOT take gear at all like dbol boldenone before you guys say anything (watched derek and did research) etc because it will make it worse and I would be messing with my lipids and I would ruin my liver and get worse gyno, so what are your guys thoughts and advice should I keep trying to optimize my training?

Seeing close to 0 visual change but my lifts are increasing for 2 months straight

For context I am 14, I have roughly 140 days I fear of spinning my wheels with 0 absolute progress, and the aftermath of that was switching to high intensity training I keep getting painfully stronger and stronger but not even a slightly bigger tricep, my bodyfat is fairly high though but close to none past my waist, I cant share a photo for specific reasons but it pretty much looks like GH gut but made up of bodyfat, and my waist is 107cm for context and I am sure I am above 20% bf, not sure if that is a factor hiding muscle growth but I am starting a 500 calorie deficit to go from 194lbs at 5'10 to 170 or so go be 12-15% bodyfat then go into a small surplus. COMPOUND LIFT CHANGES: Flat Dumbell Press (all upper exercises besides pulldowns are per hand) 22.5lbs --> 32.5lbs" Upper Back Dumbell Row 15lbs --> 37.5" Shoulder Dumbell Press 22.5lbs --> 25lbs" Pulldowns 70lbs --> 85lbs" Hack Squat 105lbs "sled" --> 135" RDL (BB) 75lbs --> 105lbs) I am doing 4 weekly sets for chest back shoulders quads hamstrings and 2 for biceps triceps calves (direct) and I am running a 4d U / L.
