No, you do not necessarily gain weight to get stronger. Initial strength gains are largely driven by your nervous system learning to use existing muscles more efficiently. You can increase your strength dramatically without changing your overall body weight. [1, 2]

Weight/mass both help when objects come into contact with each other, physics.

Lighter and stronger would typically lead to more agility/explosiveness. Adding weight to just add weight slows you down. He turns 20 in October, so he is still growing into his body, which is a good thing.

Say what you want about science but when I look at Malachi he looks frail and could use muscle mass on his shoulders and other other muscles

Bingo.
Unnecessary weight also effects conditioning.
