I have been bulking for a month now and i haven't gained any weight! Im 178 cm and 61 kg. I do some heavy lifting 5-6 times a week and i eat around 2300 calories a day, 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat. Does anybody have any tips for me?

In a bulk worry less about the proportion of macros. You are getting your minimum protein, so all calories will help. Foods with fat have double the calories per weight than either carbs or protein so they are a fast way to add more calories daily.
Cheese, butter, full fat dressings on your salad, peanut butter; they all add up.
Here's a trick to get more calories in. Switch your water to full fat milk.3 -
Consume more calories be it food, shake, or a glass of milk until the weight starts moving up.2

Go up to 2600-2800 and see if that helps. You're getting enough protein, so try upping your fat and carbs. Literally pour olive oil on all of your meals if that's what it takes.1

Eat more and if your a hard gainer you only need to be in the gym about 3 days a week or your body will burn up all those calories if you want to stay in the gym that frequent then you need to be eating over 3k calories. I’m a hard gainer and tried that diet and I had to increase to my amount now just to put on weight and size in two weeks I have added almost 6 lbs0
