That depends- if you are eating protein and keeping healthy then your muscles will grow. But muscles being heavier than fat, its actually possible for an overweight person to get smaller yet gain weight. Of course it all depends on how much you work out too. And if a child gets too much exercise or does too much weight-bearing, it can actually stunt growth - growth plates in the bones are not made for constant heavy exertion and will be damaged, causing pain and also taking some amount off the height the child would have been as an adult. But in an average situation with a healthy adult who is trying to get muscular instead of lose weight, weight lifting will add bulk to your body's frame.

Some is fine, but a lot, or heavy weights isn't a good idea. A growing body isn't as stable as an adult body and may take damage.
