If your muscle gain has stalled, your nutrition might need an adjustment.When you get bigger, your metabolism also adapts, potentially raising your TDEE. If you've stopped gaining weight (or muscle), consider slightly increasing your caloric surplus (e.g., by another 100-200 calories per day). Conversely, if you're gaining fat too quickly, slightly reduce your surplus. Track and adjust based on your body's response over 1-2 weeks.
