As part of my new years resolution, I have taken weight training/working out more seriously. I signed up to a gym a month ago and have been following this 12 week program ever since; this is my 5th week. This is the first program/routine I've followed and my first month of 100% dedicated gymming.
So far, I've been doing well and have been making decent progress in terms of my lifts. I'm naturally quite skinny/small sized so I've upped my calorie intake and have made myself eat more in the past month.
A few days ago, I weighed myself and realized that I put on at least 3-4 kg (6.5-9 lbs). I was surprised and what I'd like to find out is if the gain in mass is due to muscle and/or fat? My goal is to get "bigger" in a sense but stay relatively lean at the same time.
If it is indeed muscle, is this a good sign of me making progress? I'm worried as I know when trying to build muscle, it is easy to gain some fat at the same time without you realizing.

I'm new to posting/asking for assistance on this subreddit (I've read through the rules though), so if I've done anything incorrectly, please let me know. Also, if there's anymore information required, I'd be more than willing to provide them. Thank you all! :)
