So basically im back on the weight gain.

I average burn 2000 calories a day (work as a chef)

I'm managing to eat 3000 to 3200 calories a day.

Plus ive started back at the gym.

You think its enough or not enough.

I'm on 45% carb 25% protein 20% fat macros.

Any advice would be welcome

    How much have you gained so far? You want a surplus of 200- 500 cals per day.

    Sounds like you are successfully doing a slow bulk at a rate of 0.5kg a week. Keep it going. If you find the rate of increase stalling after lets say 4 weeks, increase calories by 250 and monitor.
