Dude come on…
- it’s unavoidable to gain fat while trying to reach your goal of size and strength.
- The amount of fat you gain can be controlled through your dietary choices and cardio
- I can’t be sure based on your description if the fat you’ve gained is something you should just ignore (especially since you say you’ve gained a considerable amount of muscle) or if it is too much.
- If it’s indeed too much (and i’m talking objectively here, not subjectively) then perhaps you shouldn’t be eating pizza and fast food.
Gaining size and strength doesn’t mean go on a see food diet. It just means increasing your cals so you can grow. Some dirty foods are absolutely fine but if it becomes a daily habit, you better have a kick ass metabolism.
Make your diet pretty clean, cheat a couple times a week perhaps (for sanity, for pleasure, and to boost cals occasionally) and try to progress in the gym each workout.
It takes a while, but if you do what many others do and get discouraged and go on a cut after only 3 months of “gaining” you will be running in circles (this is all assuming your goal is to gain a considerable amount of size and strength).
Good luck
