It's a bit early to be expecting them to start fattening up.........

They won't get planted til about June, so no rush  ;)

If they're still not growing nearer that time then a little liquid feed or a sprinkle of BF&B works.

Mine stay like grass for a while then, when I pot on, they start to grow a little thicker. About a month after that, I apply a liquid feed to give them a boost because they will have probably used up all the nutrients in the compost so, when I plant them out, most are usually about pencil-size in thickness. See other threads about leeks on here too.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
