If he that young he should not be brumating, they also do not get skinny from brumation. Take him to the vet. You probably have parasites.

A dragon that size is only a baby and they do not brumate at that age! Have you had him checked for parasites? Most have a lot of parasites and need to be checked by an experienced reptile vet. A baby that size needs: a heat lamp with a basking temp of 105F. A UVB bulb. No loose substrate--especially not sand! Crickets no bigger than the space between his eyes. Misting with water and frequent bathing. Calcium/D3 dust for insects 4-5 times a week and a multivitamin weekly. A large tank, 40 gallon breeder or larger.

I agree, you brumated him too young. Buy him mealworms and waxworms and give him plenty of fresh veggies. Make sure his temps are nice and warm so he can digest properly. It's going to take a while to fatten him up. And you should definitely have a vet screen him for parasites.
