it's all about analyzing the amount of calories you're taking in per day... if you fall on the extreme end of body types (ectomorph, a body type in which they find it difficult to gain mass) - you have to pay close attention to calories and macronutrients (proten,carbs,fats). knowing exactly how much you need to consume to build mass is important with your body type.
weight gaining supplements alone aren't enough to really help.. the focus should be eating plenty of food. fish, chicken, meats... and plenty of vegetables/fruits/pastas...
oh yeah, and assuming you didn't work out hard enough, goin to the gym 4/5 days a week with intense weight training.
