Does anyone know any good exercises to do while trying to gain weight that won't burn a lot of calories ?

Goals? Are you going for strength, aesthetics, or a mix of both?
Get on a progressive Linear Progression program - this means the weights increase in a controlled and scheduled manner so you know you are getting stronger / getting results.
Solid ones are: Starting Strength, Strong Lifts, ICF5x5 or 3x5, Grey Skull LP, and my personal favorite, GZCL LP (ctrl+F search for "GZCLP", it is two thirds down the page).0
