I ate 6-7 times a day, even when it was 3am i would go downstairs and microwave some rice and chicken.
There are three body types and i would assume you're more close to a ectomorph. High metabolism, tall, and hard weight gainer.
Unfortunately for you, your strategy on gaining weight is very little to no cardio. You have to increase your food intake even to a point were it feels like a chore.
Fortunately ectomorphs have stronger and thicker bones. They tend to be naturally stronger in the gym and they can allow more cheating in their diet.

This. Can't gain weight, eat more. I was extremely skinny for most of my life, like stickfigure thin. I red alot of threads on bodybuilding sites and put together an nutrition plan and workout routine and i eventually started gaining weight.

And when i say by the book, it's like one of those infomercial exercise videos from the 70s.

Alot of pt's also discourage use of free weights and actually recommend machines. You're going to build more muscle and faster with compounds than any machine will ever do.
