If you are in a surplus of your maintenance calories, you will be bulking. Whether it is a 100 calorie or 500+ calorie surplus is up to you and your progression goals. Making small surpluses, such as 100-400 calorie increases, will lead to slower gain with minimal fat gain. High surpluses, such as 500+, will lead to quicker gains with a higher percentage of body fat gain. However, your percentages look good, man. Stay consistent, and track your progress. Good luck.

Do not use ratios for macros...
NUTRITION
This is the largest factor in your success, learn the basics to get started and then move into more advanced if needed.

TRAINING
Start with a solid beginner routine, these are designed to get the most for you; they are designed by professionals and use progressive overload. Read through them and pick the one you like most, follow it as it is written.

SUPPLEMENTS
Remember one thing, supplements are only that; they supplement something and are never meant to be replacements. A multivitamin will not replace fruits and vegetables, a fat burner will not replace a caloric deficit, and a meal replacement is not meant to be your only source of calories.
This is a brief run down of the 'basics', for further breakdowns of specific ingredients (like Yohimbe, Forskolin, Glycerol, ect) more research on your part would be needed.
