How did my man David Martinez get buff in a few months during the time skip? Does he have synthetic skin? Also is he mostly no ganic, because at the end his skull looked like it was mostly cybernetic parts.

I would assume a lot of new chrome, steroids for the muscle mass that’s still human and perhaps some shit going on underneath RealSkinn that would make him look like one of those Animal gang members who clearly have bits of meat being held together by like hinge things.
Plus anime rules
I always saw such things in Egerunners more like narrative stuff rather than literal depiction. Series ain’t so “grounded” as computer game or original TTRPG in their way to depict cyberware/action so it’s understandably more flashy and even a bit grotesque.
I would even compare Edgerunners/Cyberunk 20XX to Hobbit/LOTR pair. Was it all in the same universe? Absolutely yes. Was it the same way it’s literally depicted? Probably debatable.
He was mostly chrome at that point I think, you can see the hard edges of it all over his body.
Pretty sure that is why none of them feel any shame in running around naked, their body is not really theirs anyway. Anyone can se it in the same catalogue they bought it from. Or that is just some cyberpunk future BS to increase sales.
His body is full cyber, you can see this when he installs the cyberskeleton in the last couple of episodes.
In assume he had a full conversion, so he is just a brain in a robot (cyber) body. If not, he would have no more then 5-10% (brain, nerves, some spine, maybe some of his heart, etc) of his original body, the rest was replaced with Cyberware.
He’s built different
David specifically asks for “muscle-enhancers” from his ripper doc which I assumed in the show to be implants (something like the neofibers cyberware). However now looking back it could have also just been futuristic steroids.
Also judging by how modular his body was (like how he just “slotted” into the cyber-skeleton) it’s safe to say his body was mostly inorganic
