Im cursed with the skinny genes and my metabolism rate is high. Decided its time to change my looks. I'm still new to body building but i did my research and try this out.

7.30am : 2eggs + sandwichs + 1 cup of fried rice
10.30am : nutella sandwiches
12pm : lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice3pm : nutella sandwiches
5pm : 1 chocolate bar (sneakers/mars)
6pm : gym 30-40mins (only 1-2 kinds of exercise per session)
8pm : lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice10pm : wheat biscuits and slp

8.30-5.30 is my desk job period. Job is to only sit down n do the computer works but im not gaining that much weight. Only gain roughly 1.5kg over 3months. Hit the gym 3 times a week. What i did wrong here?

that's your problem right there. at least the most evident one. how much is "lots" ?

Your main problem is calories. NOT ENOUGH calories. It is as simple as the following

Step 1 : Eat X amount of calories

Step 2 : Check weight progress

Step 3 : Did Step 2 achieve what you want ?

If your answer of (3) is NO, then X amount isn't working, so either add (gain) or deduct (lose) calories then proceeed with (2) and (3) again.

And why no protein? So all you wanna do is eat carbs and fats ? ZERO protein ?

Lots of meat as in i find it difficult to walk after my lunch/dinner. So, i guess i need more proteins. I thought carbos & calories are the most imprtnt? Should i include fish in my meal?

If you find it difficult to have a big meal, then split your meals. If you can't take too much meat, then supplement with protein powders. Liquids go down faster than solids.

Overall calories > macronutrients.

Carbs - Proteins - Fats are equally important. It's down to you, to find out your required calories and break it down to a the required amount of macros you need.

Fish on its own is mainly protein and has trace amount of fats. You can include whatever foods you want as long as you have enough calories and macronutrient quota to fit them. Google flexible dieting.
