    There's really no secret. If you wanna build muscle you have to consume a fairly large amount of protein, you have to eat more (clean) calories than you burn, and lift weights.

    Its hard to build lean muscle mass. Maybe try the anabolic diet?
  • Yeah that's hard because you used to be overweight. I understand, and your body may gain weight far more easily than most of us, I would say add moderate clean calories, and keep up cardio while adding in heavier weight training, you can always reduce the calories, or add more cardio if the fat becomes an issue again, don't be scared, you can do it!!

    Increase your Calories, Carbs and Protein.

    2500/150/150 (based off your 130lbs weight)

    I would try this first. Use MPF of course and track your Food and a Notebook to track your Workouts. A Big thing is not to weight yourself. Go off the Mirror and only weigh yourself every two weeks.

    Stick to these Macro's for a month. Then adjust as needed.
