So I've been getting stronger and not gaining weight I've also been getting bigger any tips on what to do to gain weight or whats going on?
My bench press increased from 145-200 and all my other lifts have increased I just turned 17 as well and have been working out for a year (fooling around for about 6 months then took it serious for the other 6 months).

More calories means more weight gain. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

I have the same thing most of the time... you should be happy about it...
If you are getting that much stronger without gaining weight, you are losing fat... its like cutting and gaining at the same time, which most people (mainly experienced lifters) cannot do.
Normally when you cut, you try to maintain strength and cut down on fat while maintaining muscle mass... You are gaining strength and technically cutting down fat at the same time...
If you start eating more, you may see bigger gains but you may also get unwanted fat... keep up what your doing until it no longer works. Than bulk more. Do not fix what aint broken.
Be proud.
