How do I keep my weight up (TW: mentions of weight gain)

Im 5'9 and a half, and am underweight. Last night when I weighed myself, I had put on some weight which I'm proud of. But how do I keep my weight up.
My gym goals is to grow my glutes, which you can't achieve when you're underweight.
I often lift weights, try adding protein to my meals.
How can I assure that I don't lose weight again?

I'll share below some resources which offer more specialist advice about how to fuel yourself in a healthy and safe way:

Have you felt able to speak with anyone else about your health-journey?
I do drink protein shakes with creatine during my exercises. And I mainly try to lift heavy weights until I get to a limit.
That’s about it for me.
It’s kind of a shame that I live with a family where our food is very low in calories, fat and everything I need in order to gain weight and muscles
Thank you for the resources
