Weight gain and weight loss is determined by energy intake and energy expenditure. If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain weight, it is that simple.
Further if you "eat healthy", exercise and maintain a calories surplus (take in more calories that you burn) you will likely gain muscle. To better understand exaclty how many calories you are eating I suggest logging your food for a few weeks!
I hope this helps!
