Step 1:
Steal Mass Gainer nutrition label

Step 2:
Make your own

Whey + banana = Mass Gainer
Whey + Peanut butter = Mass Gainer
Whey + Rice = Mass Gainer
Whey + Milo = Mass Gainer
Whey + Starbucks = Mass Gainer

Egg + Rice = Mass Gainer
Chicken + Rice = Mass Gainer

If really really lazy
Whey + loads of sugars = Mass Gainer

Yea it can be really tasty depends on what you mix.
You can go as arguably "bad" as Whey + ice cream or Whey + milo and it is still cheaper and tastier than any commercial Mass Gainer

The only good about Mass Gainer I can see if you really want me to convince you to buy one is they can be keep for long period and convenient.

Some simple concept
Build muscle = resistant training + progressive overload + eat more than you need
Build muscle without building fat = resistant training + progressive overload + eat more you need + monitor and optimize your calorie surplus and keep trying (everyone one is different)
Loss fat = resistant training + eat less than you need
Loss fat without losing muscle = resistant training + eat less than you need + monitor and optimize your calorie deficit and keep trying (everyone one is different)

+weight = eat like a monster
-weight = eat like a begger

The most challenging part is optimization and sustainable to your lifestyle, be it training or eating.
Some people eat little and gain real fast
Some people eat shit load of foods and gain shit
Vice versa

Calories calculator is a reference point to start

Some people has no life stress, they can train like athletes.
Some people has shit loads of stress from life, gf, family, work, money, they cant cope more stress coming from training or they will fatigue themselves pretty fast.
Some people underestimated their capability and undertrain, vise versa
