If you want to gain muscle, just start eating at a surplus and lifting heavy on a proven beginners routine like all pros(stickie in the workout section). You will unfortunately gain some fat but you can limit how much you gain by not making the surplus too big, something like 10-20% above maintenance should suffice, good luck

never go full potato. 500 above maintenance is almost too much for a guy let alone a girl.
I'd be shooting for like 200 above maintenance. Girls don't build muscle at the same rate guys do.
First off OP, you gotta pick whether you'd like to lift 3 or 4 times a week... either work fine, but obviously with 4, you can do a lot more you couldn't do before...
If you can lift 4 days, by all means do. Infact, use an Upper Body/Lower Body routine. Something like this:
Upper Body(performed 2 times a week):
For example 4x8-12 means 4 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Once you get 12 repetitions on all 4 sets, you add weight(5 pounds on upper body. 10 pounds on lower body). Never go to failure until the last set; always stop 1 repetition short of failure. Failure means you cannot do another repetition that set.
Hammer Smith Bench Press or DB/BB Bench press 4x 8-12
Hammer Smith Shoulder Press or Barbell Overhead press 4x8-12
Dumbbell Row 4x 8 - 12
Lat Pulldowns 4x 8-12
Ab Roller workout or some random ab workout you found on pinterest (make sure you have planks. They are the best)
Lower Body(performed 2 times a week):
Goblet Squats 4x15-25
Leg Press 4x 8-12
Dumbbell Lunge 3x8-12 each leg
Romanian Dead Lift 5x8-12
Standing calf raises 5x20-25
Goblet Squats should be replaced by normal back squats once your form on Goblet squats is pristine. Goblet squats basically allow you to get your form down perfectly(Abs tight, head looking slightly up, Start sitting down by breaking at your knees, go straight up without using your back, etc).
or Fullbody routine 3 times a week:
Leg Press/Back Squat 3x8-12
Romanian Dead Lift 3x 8-12
DB Row 3x8-12
Lat Pulldown 3x8-12
Overhead Press 3x 8-12
Ab workout
Optional: Glute bridges for dem glutes

For nutrition based questions, the Nutrition Section would be your best bet.
For training, I would go to the female section.
I am a regular poster in the Nut. Section BTW. Women's section has a Nut. but it's nowhere near as "good" as the main Nut.My Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=169516313

well my advice would be to get started on a good lifting program to understand the proper form and all of the exercises first, then little by little you can start making your own routines and splits to suit your needs as you go along. as far as your diet goes, you say you're not an active person so i would say get active and start doing some light cardio 2-3 times a week to start shedding fat and keep it off. when you lift, dont be afraid to lift HEAVY please. most women are afraid of lifting heavy thinking they're going to look like man, when this is by far from the actual truth. once you start your cardio and lifting routine, to gain LEAN MUSCLE your cals should be at least 200-300 cals above your maintenance cals. and even as high as 500 if you're continuing to stay lean. go up in cals slowly and steadily. you dont wanna watch your weight shoot up too fast. good luck
