Default Trying to get as much input as possible

Hey guys, I'm new to posting on this forum although I have been reading and attempting to absorb as much useful information as I can. I am 19 years old and up until recently took about a two year hiatus from the gym altogether.

Just some quick background information: I am 5'10'' about 155 lbs and pretty athletic. When I started to do some lifting 2 years ago I saw very good results, however time, work and family kept me from going after a while and I quickly lost all results and gains I had made.

I am a skinny kid with a very high metabolism rate, but I also put on gains very quick and lean muscle. I know there are some incredible minds on these forums with years of experience about nutrition, supplements, and regiments, and this is why I am posting.

Currently, I am trying to make diet my number 1 priority, however working 50 hours a week as a sales manager and having a young daughter prevent me from truly getting the most out of it. I would say right now I am averaging 3500 calories and 120 grams of protein a day at most with decent carbs and fat as well. I rarely have time to eat 6 meals a day and am drinking two protein shakes a day and eating 1-2 mrp bars as well along with 3 smaller meals. I am interested in taking a weight gainer and was going to make my own using whey protein isolate, dextrose and maltodextrin (just ordered 2 10lbs of that) to get my calorie intake up to 4500 and protein near 150.

I know everyone here is very much diet diet diet and supplement third or fourth down the rung but I do have some financial flexibility and the current stack I am using now is as follows:

multi
flax
6000 mg glutamine
mri ce2
mri no2
black powder or vyotech for preworkout
whey protein isolate

And my routine normally goes
Monday: back and shoulders
Tuesday: chest
Wed: off
Thurs: legs
Fri: Bis and Tris
Saturday: off
Sunday: off

I am in my second month of getting back hard into the gym and trying to do about 5 workouts per muscle group normally doing 4 sets of 8, sometimes 10 reps..

Anyone have any clearcut recommendations? I use a training parter which helps me stay motivated, get up bigger weight, and have competition, however my big thing now is trying to gain some weight (ideally, id like to be up to 175 and 5-6% bf) (now I am 155 and 9%bf),

But any advice about the diet, supplements or a great regiment would be much appreciated. Thanks guys
