Wearing ankle weights

I wanted to know if it can help with overall body strength ?

No. It, for example, does nothing for shoulders or chest

They have benefit for athletic training like walking lunges, burpies etc. but most people with physique training goals won't get much benefit from them.

For the goals of physique training, it's best to stick with traditional leg exercises - squats, hack squat, leg press etc
