How much should I raise my calories too?

It's likely that you'll burn fat before you start acquiring muscle. I'm on the same boat. I was 130, got up to 134- now this week I'm at 131. You might also want to re-evaluate your workouts. If you're trying to build mass try more weight and less reps during workouts. I'm going to try that out this week, too.

I'm currently bulking for the first rime, I'm 5'8,137 lbs. I eat 2550 calories a day and strength train 5 days a week for 35-45 mins . a few weeks ago I was 138 lbs, last week 139 lbs and I just weighed myself and I'm 137. I make sure to eat my calorie goal but I'm losing weight. How much should I add to my calories? I'm trying to clean bulk

I don't know how old you are but I am 21 with similar stats to you (same weight/height) and I am not gaining and even possibly losing at ~2700 calories I just added an extra scoop of protein to my post workout (~120) to see if that starts me gaining. Obviously some people are different (I walk about 5 miles a day to and from work and school plus 5 mins of cardio pre workout), but just to give you an idea.
