i was 120 when I first started. I got up to 170lbs after a little over 2 years, you can do the same.
Just keep it simple with heavy compound excercises. Just do bench press, shoulder press, pull ups. I assume you can't do pullups, so do negatives, you can look this up. This is when you stand on a bench and jump up to the top of the pull up movement, then lower yourself down as slowly as possible. Eventually you will be able to do regular pullups. Also squats or leg press are the most important. Start learning how to do squats now because they take forever to learn. Really nothing else is worth doing at this point. Do these excercises every workout untill further notice. Eat tons of carbs, I ate a pound of pasta every day after school. Eat as much chicken, fish, or preferably steak as you can for dinner. Eat brown rice or something with carbs before bed.
You will gain weight FAST, probably be up to 135 in like 4 months if you do this. Eventually you should start a regular routine like a 3 day split, you will know when because after several months of lifting you will become more experienced.
Don't buy protein powder. If you buy supplements buy a weight gainer like serious mass. It is like protein powder but with carbs and fat in it as well, 600 calories a glass.
When you do your excercises do high reps. Like 15-20 reps for the first set. This will help you improve your form as well if ur really new. At your weight any rep range will give you strength so just keep it high
