How the frick do people gain weight???

So I started working out about a month ago. Mainly bc my fiancé wanted me to drink less and that wasn't fun so I stopped drinking. Well then I had a calorie deficit of like 6-800 calories a day from not drinking. I have been struggling to maintain 180 lbs.

I basically replaced drinking with working out so I've had some serious gains but that means I have to eat even more. And the more I work out, the more my metabolism is speeding up. I am eating 2900 calories a day, maintaining weight, but I'm burning through all my fat so I'm probably at a calorie deficit. Taking creatine and too so I've almost certainly lost some weight since I'm holding more water weight now.

Eating 200+ grams of protein a day, like 40% of diet is coming from fat and I've been trying to keep carbs low since it seems to be working for me. I feel like I'm always either stuffed or starving 24/7. I hate food so much right now.

Anyways, I went and got my testosterone levels checked just because my buddy on Sarms was getting his levels checked mid cycle. Testosterone is 1120ng/dl, free test 26ng/dl, shbg is 21 nmol/ L and albumin was 40g/l. My skin is all greasy like a teenager, I've been anxious and I've been fantasizing about fighting lately so that makes a lot of sense. My doctor says I have to do some other test to make sure I don't have cancer or some shit but frick that nerd, I'm the king of rdrama now. I'm going to have to buy new shirts in a week or two. All the sleeves are getting tight. Probably gonna buy those new shirts next week when I'm proving I'm Superman and don't have cancer.

Anyways !fitness, what do I eat? I need to maximize these gains but I need more food. I'm bouncing back and forth between "I hate food so much" to "I will murder whoever moved my protein shaker my body is eating itself and I'm angry about it" like 6 times a day at this point. I'm down to 12-14% body fat so I need to figure this shit out pretty fast.

So I could tell my testosterone had probably gone up but I got the test last week and just saw the results this morning. Today compared to last week, it feel like my skin is buzzing. I've already done my normal workout twice this morning and I'm probably going to do it all a third time before lunch because I should be sore from doing all this but I'm not. Last week I felt way more ragey though.

you arent going to failure on your sets. focus on form and full range of motion

I switched from pushups to doing pushups with boards under my hands and feet to get a deeper stretch. Think I was having problems positioning my hands right but I still did more deeper pushups in all my first 6 sets than I did on my best of my three sets last Monday morning. Still did 60 more in my last three sets. Last week I took two days off to recover and I did farmer walks and front dumbbell raises all weekend this weekend

I respect the home gym hustle. but if you are having all this excess energy i suggest getting a gym membership the gains will come you got the working ethic

Yeah I need someone who wants to go more than twice a week or quit being neurodivergent and go myself. Also not lifting as heavy as i could. Giving my ligaments some time to catch up to my gains first.
