What should my goals be focused on?

So I am a 5 feet 11 inches male who is 18 years old; that last time I checked weighed 125-126ish but after today realised that it is less with my doctor telling me I weight 122lb (with clothes on) and then when I weighed myself on a scale I just recently bought I weighed in at 120.8lb (with some lightweight gym clothes on) so I am realising now that my weight is 120-122lb which I feel might be a bit low. I have already received feedback on needing to gain weight (will post pictures of my physique of about one week ago it's more or less accurate for the time being). I did start a new lifting program that is a 3-day set of full body suited for beginners (even though I've been lifting for about 8 months but did not lift with a proper program) I do cardio about 3 times a week that consists of jump roping for about an hour but did not jump rope two days of the week this week as I felt it may not aid in building muscle but did miss it and felt weird without it.

Considering I weight 120-122 I do not think I could stand to lose anymore (not that I could I think) but not sure how to go about increasing how much I eat to account needing to gain weight and to fit my jump roping lifestyle. I need some advice as too how to go about this?

Also I do prefer to do fasted weight lifting and cardio whenever I can meaning as soon as a wake up working out and then eating my meals throughout the day. When I can't I eat breakfast then lunch and usually workout within 4 hours of eating lunch. Is it recommended to do this with my weight or can I as long as I am eating in a surplus the night before?

Cheers all!

I just weighed myself today in the morning with no food besides a bottle of water and in normal underwear and I weighed in at 118 which means I weigh less than I expected so would like advice based on this new realisation. Cheers!

Pretty simple, you need to force yourself into a sustained calorie surplus to gain weight. If you have trouble eating enough to get there, stick to calorie dense foods like peanut butter, butter, oil, cream, avocado, whole milk, cheese, fatty meat, and if you're still having trouble you might want to work in some pop tarts or ice cream or something

Drop all the cardio and start eating in a surplus.

If you want to keep jumping and also put on muscle weight, then you are going to have to eat more. They call it bulking.

I’d recommend posting over in the Gaining Weight forum. You might get more responses there.
