I recently put on 8lbs in three months going from 119 lbs to 120lbs of mostly lean muscle mass (I say this because I currently wear the same clothing size) I found what worked for me was eating lots of dense foods such as nuts, full fat yogurt and avocados. As well as lean protein sources such as eggs and meat and healthy carbs like whole grain pasta and oats. I tend to avoid foods with high sugar and other "junk foods" but occasionally I will eat those things. I also have been following a structured lifting and cardio program. The main thing for gaining muscle is to eat at a surplus (usually 250-500 call above your TDEE) and to eat enough protein (0.5-1.00g x your weight in lbs) Each person is different however so really the only way to know for sure what will work for you is to try different things. Good luck I hope you find success0
