Been lifting almost a year. Having an issue with gaining mass. Every time I gain a few pounds, it ends up bing fat, so I clean up my deit to lose it. Then, I'm skinny again. So I bulk. I've tried clean and dirty bulks and I always end up looking flabby/dadbod. I lift 6 days a week, chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders/legs, repeat rotation, then rest day. I do abs every other day.
I'm eating 4000 calories. 200 grams of that is protein. Any fewer calories and I can't gain weight at all, but at the current amount I just gain fat

Mate the thing is this is what a real, natural process is like. I suffer from the same issues, but there is not much to do about it. Most people develop fast because they use steroids. I came to this conclusion: it's not worth treating muscles as the most important thing in life. It is just something to turn on chicks from time to time. 6 days/week is not worth the time investment. Do it every other day, and don't spend too much time & thought into it. Eventually you'll see progress but it just takes a lot of time.
