Well then I'm just going to assume you were caught boning the neighbor's dog.
VERY good guess but no.
so anything i can do to increase muscle mass while on lockdown at home?
It's going to be hard to increase muscle mass while at home, but if you just want to exercise/get stronger, plenty of help can be found for that:
This article has some fun progressions. To properly train with just your bodyweight, you need a string of exercises that are progressively harder since you can't just dump more weight on.
Building an Olympic Body through Bodyweight Conditioning
If you can already do the basics (pullups, chinups, pushups, BW squats, etc), you may want to consider training for some of these:
Beast Skills - Tutorials for Bodyweight Feats
Once again, you're going to have a hard time getting much bigger on this sort of training, but it should make you much stronger.
There are also some fun workouts here, to mix it up a little:
The 20 Minute Fitness Solution
Try that last link especially if you haven't beendone this sort of thing before. It should get your body used to exercise without killing you, but you're still going to be sore. In fact, for your goals, I'd probably follow the exercises set forth in that blog until I could get to a gym and start real weight training.
Don't go crazy on the number of reps at first, either -- you'll just end up no stronger and injured. And include rest days. I spent about a year when I first started doing endless pushups/chinups every day, and progress got very slow after the first month. Once I understood the need for rest, my pains went away and I started improving again.
To echo what the others have said, if you specifically want abs, abs are 99% diet. Calories in < Calories out. Try cutting out sweets/dessert and that may be all you need to show some definition. Exercise will also help a little since you're expending energy to do it.
