In growing, it varies for each person as the energy spent daily is different. It depends on your lifestyle. For me, I have a very sporty lifestyle so I spent more energy. It also depends on your metabolism rate. How fast your body turns food into energy.
Basically, based on my experince, to gain weight, get exercising and eat a lot! I'm not sure about your metabolism rate but for me, since I have a high metabolism rate, I seldom worry about the fats (you won't wanna have a big belly). If you have a slower metabolism rate, get some exercise to burn the fats or watch your fat intake.
Another thing, (although I'm not very sure with this, I heard it somewhere..) eat slow-acting carbs at night before bed. The person said that this will provide the food for your stomach to digest cause during sleep there are still juices flowing in your stomach and if you don't let it digest something, it will burn some of your mass. Not really sure about this but it was what I was told.
As for gym and the "when I press the muscle, it's a bit hard compared to the right forearm" thingy, that's just you feeling the pump. When you're doing gym and you hit hard on your muscle, blood flow will increase in that area (there are more scientific way of explaining it but I guess you can just google it
By the way, I hope this helps and if anything I said was incorrect, do tell me. You can't be correct all the time
