Brief Answer:
Muscle mass can be increased by exercising
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
From your query I understand that you are a vegetarian, eat proper food and do yoga regularly. Yoga would help in overall fitness. Muscle training is needed to build muscle mass. People do take different types of supplements but all of them can have side effects. It is always recommended to exercise for building muscle mass.
