Too many variables in the equation. Body type, weight, training intensity, program style, nutrition, genetics, rest.
Problem with most beginners, is they want it all faster than whats actually achievable naturally.
So many stupid fads, "6 minute abs" "30 second biceps" "gain 2lbs of solid lean muscle by eating this fruit".
Hard work, good nutrition, good rest, and you'll gain your muscle.
Anyways, maybe try a 10% surplus and see what happens. You don't want to get over fat, but be aware that you'll put on body fat regardless.
