That’s pretty solid man. I’m 5’10” 160 with 15-16” and I know I’m not that big lol, but I’ve always had good bicep shape. Just could use some more overall mass and some more triceps haha.

A little AAS and you would come together nicely! It's time.
If you're going to do it, don't wait until your old. That's the WRONG choice. It is safer when you're young...and you'll look better.
The body can potentially attain it best overall shape when the bodybuilder is in his 20's. Although many bodybuilders look great in their 30's, a bodybuilder's potential aesthetics are greatest in his 20's. His waist will never be smaller or tighter than when he is in his 20's (which is a HUGE benefit when it comes to overall shape and aesthetics, as well as the ability to hit certain poses) and your separation will never be greater. You main attain greater graininess in your 30's, but muscular separation reigns supreme (potentially) in one's 20's. If you want to look great, look great now. If you've been training correctly for 5 or more years, naturally, and have plateaued (everyone does by that point) your only going to gain so much muscle after that. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you won't suddenly blow up one day. Rather, you will struggle to gain a few pounds here and there and will be lucky to add another 10-15 pounds of lean mass, max, for the rest of your training life...and it will take many years to do that. Furthermore, your body's shape will already begin deteriorating by the time you reach that point. Again, this is assuming the natural bodybuilder has been doing everything correctly (for the most part) for the prior 5 years.
By using AAS ONLY (the correct ones and at the right doses) you could look like a great classic bodybuilder in just 2-3 years without any stomach distension at all....and you can stay relatively lean and dry the whole time you're on your journey. 40 lean pounds properly placed on your physique would take you from a guy who looks like he has been training for a few years to an awesome looking bodybuilder, especially if you master the classic poses. A lot of guys gain 40 pounds fairly quickly with drugs, but a good portion of it is almost always water, glycogen and some fat. That is fine if someone is simply trying to maximize growth rate, as many of the best growth drugs cause significant water retention, but it is not all muscle. Furthermore, aside from the water, glycogen, and fat, a good portion of their weight gain also goes directly to their midsection in the form of stomach distension. Much of this is due to food build-up from massive eating and of course, insulin and GH will only make the problem worse through visceral fat build-up. So, their 40 pounds is more like 15 pounds of properly placed lean muscle tissue.
Someone who gains 40 pounds of genuine muscle fiber AND puts it in the right places without any stomach distension will look like they gained a LOT more than 40 pounds. You can avoid the distension by refusing to over-eat, refusing to consume large meals at one time, refusing to use insulin, and refusing to use GH (low-dose GH is completely fine), while focusing on lean muscle gain and keeping your bodyfat fairly low. Feed yourself just enough to facilitate continued muscle gains and your body will slowly, but surely put on only lean tissue...and with proper training, it will go to all the right places. You might not gain overall muscle mass as quickly as they guys who eat like animals and use every drug available to them, but you will have a tremendous classic physique that everyone admires in just a few years. It is a VERY different look compared to those bodybuilders who make the attainment of sheer size their #1 goal. I am not saying one is better than the other, as each man has his own opinion of what he thinks looks good, but I will tell you this. The classic physique is a dying breed because it requires one to hold back from putting on overall mass as quickly as possible. No one wants to take their time getting "big", so they end up ruining their lines and shape...and once you do that you can NEVER get it back.
