I had recently suffered an injury that caused me to be severly limited with my training. i lost about 15 lbs and was only eating about 2800 cals a day. I have some pics in the pics section under members. I was about 202 at 12 percent b fat eating 5000 cals a day. My metab is so fast.I am now 22 and started bulking again last week. My questions is i began bulking again and was eating 4000 cals a day and noticed a bodyfat accumulation i never had before. Granted i was not eating mostly suppliments which I had before but still eating pretty low fat high protien. I started with a 31 inch waist down to about 177 from 200 ish. My question to you is how can I remain lean ( for my job) but also maximise muscle gains I ahve never done it this way. I know this will be much slower then when i just loaded tha cals at 300g pro 600 carb 90 fat. i guess my real question is being a ecto meso muscle gains do not come so easy but they do come with hard work how many cals do i know i am getting to fuel growth but not add fat?
stats
before 202 about 12 - 13 percent with some water retention
now before 2 weeks about 177 9 - 10 percent b fat
Id guess now about 184 13 percent
basically i added like 7 lbs of weight prob 6 of which was fat and water obv eating to much should i do cardio or reduce cals ive never had this problem
grrrr
about 5'10 natural age 22

You probably increased your calories drastically. If you would have say increased 300-400 calories a week you would have gained back the muscle you lost without gaining much fat.
You probably went up 1000+ all of a sudden which was excessive. Should have went back to your normal diet more gradually.
