Can I still make 'newbie' gains if I've been lifting for two years if the lifting hasn't been particularly successful? Age 24

CanI still tap into 'newbie' gains if I've been lifting for a while, given that I don't think I ever got them in the first place (or not much of them)?

Essentially, where do I fall in this table

Background:
- Age 19, started lifting weights at home, but bad nutrtion (never tracked any macros, not even protein)
- Around age 21, switched to lifting at a gym, doing so somewhat consistently, but nutrition was still garbage (no protein/macro tracking)
-Age 23 (about 1 year, 4 months ago), finally started tracking macos, lifting consistently, did a bulk for about 6 months, got fat
-past 10 months or so, unsatisfied with how fat I got, I've been cutting

So my question is, if I lean bulk for a year, how much muscle would be reasonable to expect to gain?

Here's some pics for reference:
