Haha doing the same thing (well actually bulking to 220). Got to 210 lbs last winter but I looked like crap. I would suggest definitely counting calories and macros. If you see that you are getting way too much fat (for me, more than 115 g) then you should find alternative foods. Last fall/early winter, that's what I did and I gained way too much fat. At 182, I try to get in at least 3200 calories with minimum of 200g protein, 400g carbs, and no more than 120g of fat. On this, I have gained about 10 lbs in 2.5 months and with very little fat gain. You will have plateaus (I have been in one for the past 2 weeks) but you will come out of it eventually. It seems to be every 10 lbs your body wants you to slow down. You just gotta be patient.
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"-Matthew 7:3 KJV

speaking for myself i am currently 190lbs and 5'11 with 9%bodyfat. and my goal is to reach 210 by the end of march then get ripped for summer. i am curretly eating on average about 4500 calories daily in good foods, with a minimum of 180 grams of protein (10eggwhites, couple cans of tuna, etamomi beans, homemade shakes) you get sick of eating the same
foods over and over, but the only way ur gonna get there is by eating Carbs! eat eerything in sight that isnt junk food!

Having a goal set for 200 pounds is a good thing, but a better thing to keep in mind is what you look like in the mirror not what your scale says. What everyone else is saying, stick to about 500 above maintenace, dont listen to buddy saying dont eat carbs, if ur bulking carbs are your friend. Cheers and goodluck, as for your maintenace just go online and search up a calculator takes 3 seconds. This site is handy but dont be scared of google.
