Shaking hands while weight lifting

Hey guys,
I'm a thin guy and now trying to build muscles lifting weights. I'm taking whey protein shakes and creatine tablets, but my hands are shaking when I go for a certain weight range.
For example, my hands shake the entire weight machine if I lift 40-60 lbs but below (35) and above (65) are okay. Is this normal?
When I googled, they say its due to lack of carbs, but I take almost 2500+ cals per day (maintenance cal is 2000 for me).
Should I do anything about it?

How many carbs do you take in per day. If it might be because of lack of carbs, try to get at least 300g a day.0

I'm thinking you might drop the bar if you shake hands while lifting... :ohwell:
