/fit/, why can't i gain muscle?

i regulate my workout times and days, i use enough weight, im really skinny, so it would be noticeable if i was getting any results. the only things that seem to be growing at any rate are my arms. i actually seem to be developing a bit of a gut, too, even though im exercising more now. im doing everything i can think of. what could be my problem?

pic related, im on the far left, want to be the middle.

How tall are you? How much do you weigh? How old are you? How many calories do you eat every day? What is in your breakfast? What is in your lunch? What is in your dinner? What do you snack on? What is your workout? How many hours of sleep do you get every night? When do you go to sleep, and when do you wake up?

You have a BMR of 1686.2. Do the calculations on that link, and then add 500 to it for weight gain.

Start eating lunch on weekends.
>- mostly basic things, such as lifting weights, situps, pushups, chin-ups, etc.
Could you be more specific? Is this a regular routine that you stick with faithfully? Or do you just do what you feel like doing when you feel like it? What kinds of weight lifting do you do?
