    If your TDEE is under 2500, then probably.

    You need to eat over your TDEE. What that is is anyone's guess, there isn't enough info provided.

    All depends on how much you burn. You need to be slightly surplus to gain muscle but not too much to convert it into fat. I need about 4,000 calories a day to maintain.. So i aim for 4,250-4,500.. Good luck.. Its not easy with clean calories but you can do it!! Eat big to get big!! (In a good way haha)
