Creatine only works if you want to gain tons of muscle and if you are actually doing strength training. Otherwise you will just gain tons of water weight.
I extremely advise you not to take it though. You are still young ad your body is no fully developed enough for it. I would just suggest doing something else. Like protein things and then working on the muscle.

Creatine is extremely unhealthy and can permanentally damage your body. And I don't think it would work for you because of your build you need to be able to actually gain the weight before creatine is added I would experiment by eating a large protein diet and if you see results be my guest and try creatine although I don't suggest it
