Gaining weight but don't get stronger?

Hi, i gained 2 Kg but somehow still stuck at the same weights what do i do wrong?
Do i gain to fast weight or push myself to less is it maybe because i don't give my body rest duo to work and gym?

    Gaining weight doesn't necessarily mean you gained muscle. How long did it take you to gain the weight? Muscle takes quite a while to gain.

    2kg sounds like noise, and if it's rapid gain it's probably mostly water and fat.

    If you aren't gaining strength, that's your program. Could be many things. Have you been successfully doing progressive overload and now stalled, or worse, going down, for a couple of weeks? When was your last deload? Maybe you need a week of reduced volume. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you stressed? Getting enough protein, about 0.8g per pound should be plenty?

    Basic question: How long have you been trying?
