No, that doesn't make any sense. All muscle is 'lean muscle'. Sounds like you just didn't have as much concern about diet back then as you do now, and just put on a little bit too much excess body fat. I just hit 35 and I agree about the joints. I have been pounding fish oil lately as I keep reading about its anti-inflammatory effects especially with sore joints.
