Answers:
You gained an equal proportion of fat and muscle. Two examples (since you didn't provide your weight):
143 lbs and 10% fat: 14.3 lbs of fat, 128.7 lbs of lean body mass (organs & muscle)
150 lbs and 10% fat: 15 lbs of fat, 135 lbs of lean body mass.
I'd say you're doing well if youre trying to bulk up, putting far more muscle mass on than fat.Health Question & Answer
