I guess that’s not something you can judge by looks. I am about 5’7" 150, so I don’t need to lose any weight, I’ve been trying to gain for a while, and that’s part of the reason I wasn’t doing any cardio.

Being that you want to gain some size i would quit running. If oyu want to work on “getting in shape” I would do some HIIT…for example sprint 100 yds then walk for a little bit then sprint another 100 yds…and so on. That will get you back in shape and reduce the 3 of calories you burn. But for size bench, squats, DL’s, cleans, and shoulder presses are a must…all while eating a ton.
