How are these numbers

What do you want us to say? That these numbers are good? They are not, keep lifting, 3-4 months is nothing. Look up strength standards for your age and weight per lift to know what category you in ( beginner,intermediate, advanced, etc )

3-4 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Make sure you are following an actual program, so that you are not just wasting time. There are plenty of free programs online for beginners.

Another overlooked factor is your caloric intake. Look up TDEE calculator and use it. When it asks your activity level, be conservative.

For reference, I am 29, 6'1 215 and in addition to lifting, I run 25+ miles a week. My TDEE is 2850 calories to maintain what I have. I try to make sure that I get a majority of my calories from protein, getting .7 grams per pound of body weight.

Honestly, pretty shit. But that’s fine cuz you just got started. Stop worrying about what others think about your numbers. You’re seeing progress aren’t you. Get addicted to that progress like its heroin.

You are doing a good progress, keep going

Check out the website/app called Symmetric Strength. It should give you an idea on on how you lifts compare to others.

Oh man you got a long way to go. Hopefully after a year you'll get some big improvements. You should also eat more. 150 lbs. at 5'11 isn't shit. Bulk up to 170 at least and you're numbers will change drastically.

The numbers are going up, it’s as simple as that, only compare to your old self and always be improving

How are those numbers?

An incel like me started gym lifting heavier than that shit. Let's just say if I ever see you bench pressing and I want to use the bench i'd slap you off that shit no problem.
