Lifting

Count calories and eat foods that are not as calorie dense if you are still hungry after hitting your kcal goals. The hunger is usually there for a reason if you are lifting. Your body wants to grow. I have the opposite problem. I can't gain weight without force feeding to a degree.

Slight caloric surplus over your maintenance calories. Around 250-300 calories. Lift heavy.

Track your weight and how u look in the mirror. If you start to look too puffy, cut the calories back a bit.

If you eat at home it can be hard getting a caloric surplus. I'm vegetarian and avoid junk food and I have to constantly think about eating more as it is something I have to put effort into.

That's good! You need to bulk to build muscle and gain mass and then later get rid of the fat so that only muscles are left.

get an app and track your food (myfitnesspal has a lot of users and fans) and get to know your macros and needs of protien and caloric intake vs. resting BMR and activity levels every day.

on rest days do not go heavy on calories, dial it back, on lifting/cardio/whatever days, you can eat more. some folks are fans of eating protien (and shakes) pre workout. I find it's more of a day-of and day-after thing for me.
