You just need to be in a caloric surplus. Make sure to log your food consistently. Eat more calories if you're not gaining.0

Squats, deadlifts (only with proper form) and bench press and pull ups (or pull downs ). Also, only with correct form , or else muscles won't grow!! 3 sets of 8 reps each. when it gets to easy add slightly more weight.
Oh and of course, protein (chicken , beef, eggs, milk, cottage cheese ... ), 1g / lb of body weight , that's at least 95 g / day for you . Plus everything else that you eat.
and sleep a lot, and do your weight workouts only twice per week, each lifting session no longer than 40 min ..
10-15 min moderate pace cardio, twice per week, on days when you don't lift could be useful too, it'll get your appetite going.0 -

- All lifting should be with correct form
- You can still gain muscle with bad form but you increase risk of injury
- 0.6g/lb of protein is sufficient for the average persob
- Working out twice a week isn't enough to stimulate muscle growth
- Workouts should be as long as they need to be not an arbitrary limit
- 10-15 minutes cardio won't do much
- Cardio suppresses some peoples appetite0 -
