I have been trying to gain 20 lbs im currently at 112 and have been eating over 2000 calories a day like this ap said to gain a lb a week but I'm not seeing a difference and am wondering how I can gain weight without it going straight to my stomach like it tends to do and does water weight stay on?

    You've already been given options on your thread about 'toning up'. Eat at a slight surplus and lift heavy :)

    Eat at a surplus of no higher than 10% above TDEE while lifting heavy to minimize fat gain while putting on muscle

    You must lift. Plenty of awesome routines for gaining mass and size, combined with proper nutrition surplus, you cannot fail.

    Eat big, lift big. You can't choose where weight will go to but usually the stomach is the first place to get fluffier. Once you get past abs disappearing you can embrace muscle growth and extra strength in the gym. Fluff can be stripped off again come cutting season, for now enjoy all the foods and lift heavy *kitten*!

    you can't control where your weight gains will go. As others have said get on a structured lifting program,and make sure that you are in a 250 to 500 per day surplus.
