There can be multiple factors
Consistent muscle stress, not enough to cause pain, but enough to encourage growth. Ensure your doing just enough exercise to get to technical failure then stop.
Sleep
Stress
Adequate high quality protein, check the diaas score, but animal protein is best
Too much sugar in the diet, which messes with insulin
Mixing fat and carbohydrates, which causes inflammation
Basically the body needs to be in balance to build muscles.
Don't worry about hypertrophy. Use something like grip strength to track your progress, not muscle bulges.
