To start things off, i'll give a little context. I'm a small guy (5'7 135 pounds) I really want to gain muscle and tone my body to something a bit more aesthetically pleasing. My drive to become fitter came last month when I decided to start being healthier so I look better in a suit for my brothers wedding next month, but now that i've started going to the gym and working out daily i've been feeling greater than ever and don't think I could go back to my regular lifestyle. My biggest challenge, however, is my diet. I've been eating a lot healthier trying to cut back a little bit of unwanted fat but I don't think it's what I should be doing. I take in around 1000 calories per day and am perfectly fine with that, I don't feel hungry often. However, everywhere I look is telling me to eat a lot more than what I am in order to gain the muscle, but I feel like by eating more i'll just gain fat instead. I don't want to get massive, I just want to gain a bit of muscle and tone my body to look great for myself. I gym for 1 hour a day, 6 days a week and run for 20-30 minutes each night but have no idea on the amount of calories I should be eating or what I should eat and how frequently I should eat, it all seems so confusing. Help?

Edit - Also apologies to you long term fitness fans on here, I feel like such a noob for asking these questions. But I need to start somewhere, right?
