So I began a regimen of regular gyming Mon - Wed - Fri which will be heavily affected when I resum,e school, I run in the morning which is fantastic because I now have all this energy, I do mindless cardio all day seeing as my job needs me to walk around helping people. I have not yet cut down on eating fat foods because I'm lazy. Will change that....

So, which is it, 114 or 141 pounds?
The 27 pound difference is as much as a fourth of your weight. "Mindless cardio" and running, while good for the heart and lungs, is the last thing you should be doing if you want to gain weight. You should be doing weight lifting, or some other strength training, if you want to bulk up. And for most people, a diet high in both carbs and fat (like pizza) seems to work like a charm for gaining weight
