Bud, it dosent sound like you don’t know much about nutrition, no offense. I can help if you want. For example, you don’t just use whey protein on days that you workout.

At your stats, you’d be wanting to take in about 3500 calories on training days (high protein, high carbs, moderate fat), to gain lean mass. You’re probably no where close now.
