ok i started weight training about a month and a half ago.not doing that many exercises just bench press,curls(dumbbells and barbell),triceps, some butterfly. when i first started i would do all these excercises every other day.about two to three weeks ago i started weight training everyday with all exercises. i dont get sore at all. right now im doin 3 sets of 6 to 7 reps of 110lbs. ive been doin 6 to 7 reps for about 2 weeks and dont seem to gain any reps. im wonderin if i should go back to training every other day or any other different schedule. plz help

you should try a split routine, your muscles are getting too used to the strain and movements, take it slow and do a search on routines. when i first started i used to do my weights every day but soon realised i was getting nowhere. good luck

try 3 days a week. all muscle groups on each day. chest,legs, back, waist, shoulders and arms on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. tues, thurs, sat and sun off days to eat and rest. try higher reps like 10 or 12 each set. try adding weight so you can't complete 3 full sets. try new things is what i'm saying.

work the whole body, a couple of exercises per body part until that becomes too easy. then you split it up so you have more exercises on each body part with varying sets and reps. also with new exercises.

At 15, if your still a bit chubby is that just babyfat that will go out with age or can you workout to loose the pounds. My younger bro(his bigger than me) is geting into fitness, not sure what to tell him.
