Too thin, too thin!

I gained 3kg in 6 weeks, perhaps due to creatine as I was using it then. But my fats are around my abs and thighs and though not lots, they are still considerably gross. What am I doing wrong? I do eat 5 times daily...Should I just start eating anything, irrespective of nutritional value?

Don't do too much cardio, and lift heavy, with an abbreviated routine to stimulate growth hormone and avoid catabolism. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
