You don't need a supplement. Aiming for 110-140g of protein would be sufficient. If you aren't gaining weight, then focus on higher calorie foods. For example, use whole eggs instead of egg whites. Also, if you are trying to gain, do it slowly. Aiming for just under 1 lb per week will help mitigate fat gains.

Also, make sure you are on a well structured lifting routine to maximize muscle gains.

Also, at best, you will gain UP TO 2 lbs of muscle a month. I am assuming that you are trying to gain muscle and not fat. 2 months is a very short time span and you won’t see much difference.

I personally have a hard time hitting my protein and staying within my calories, so I supplement with optimum nutrition whey protein mixed with skim milk post weight workouts.

Cheeseburgers. You need cheeseburgers.

Mass Gainer is just Protein powder with added vitamins, minerals, carbs and fat.
It's a pile of calories, so it's great if you are currently in need of calories to meet your surplus goal, but it is no better than a plate of rice, beans, veggies and a chicken breast.

I use Whey Isolate (Flavor Free) with 94% protein count per scoop. It's low calorie, but I have no problem reaching my goals with meals, so the whey is used only on days that I can't get my meals in or during weeks where change from cut to bulk.

Now, if you want serious gains, you need to pay attention to everything.

- Calorie surplus
- Workout quality and especially, intensity
- Meal count (Yes, meal spacing is important)
- Sleep (Rest)

Check and make sure you get those in line, everything else comes with consistency.
