Bodyweight exercise - enough for gains?

Heyo!
Due to coronavirus my fitness regime has been flipped upside down - I’m sure most of you can relate! I had just started hitting the gym for about a month doing moderate dumbbells roughly 5 days a week. I started at like 5lbs and slowly progressed to 15 - total newbie but I was slowly progressing!
Now that the gym is closed until further notice, I am left with limited equipment for at home workouts - resistance bands, two 3lb weights (lol) and my own body weight. I have been following bodyweight strength routines on the Nike training app almost daily. Lots of squats, push ups, lunges, vinyasa yoga etc. I ride my bike and walk a lot as well.
My question is: is this enough to continue building muscle? My goal is to get stronger. I am female, 118 lbs, 5’7 roughly 15.5% body fat.
