depends, if you just started lifting then gaining an initial 20+ lbs in the first year is not uncommon. specially if your body is under weight for your height. however year after year you will most likely be gaining between 5-10 lbs max, some people experience a little more than 10lb gains, but rarely above 20.

Eat ALOT more(healthy food of course not cakes :P) do some research and make sure your routines good and maybe some mass gaining supps.

one thing man.. it is not 30lbs of muscle... 70% of the weight u have put on (taken that it is only muscle as u mean) is water. 30lbs x 0,3 = 9lbs of pure muscle is what uve really added, which is decent...

it's glycogen/fat, muscle, and water

Switch up your routine if you have been using the same since Day 1. How does your current macro intake look like? Also, what's your current bf%?
