    I dropped in, to hopefully help. It is true what some of the other members have stated. You have to be at a calorie surplus to make gains in weight. Now to make the gains and help ensure they are not fat you have to build muscle. Cardio is good but I would suggest slightly reducing some of the cardio and adding some compound 'heavy' lifts. Things like dead-lifts, squat and presses, dips and pull-ups. Remember muscle weighs more than fat and looks better.
    To sustain the extra muscle you need to shift your eating so that you take in more protein. That does not necessarily mean meat... there are plenty of vegan protein powders in the market that will help keep your cholesterol, and fat levels in check.
