Hi, what is your experience in lifting?
One important aspect of gaining mass is knowing your daily caloric maintenance amount so that you can target a caloric surplus at which to eat. If you need to find it, it can be calculated here:

Also, what is your specific physique goal? Bulky or more of the aesthetic, shredded look?0 -
Very generically, one thing you could do is take a look at this thread, where many MFP-ers have shared strength training programs they've found helpful:

(!)
If you want more of a DIY approach, or to get some background information, this is good, too:

I'm not arguing with the PP above, who may be able to give you personalized advice. Certainly, I agree that you'll want at least a small calorie surplus, and it will be important to get good overall nutrition, especially but not exclusively ample protein.
