I'm in quite a dilemma. Some websites say per pound of bodyweight to consume a gram of protein. Other sites say less. My question is, is it necessary to eat that much protein because I find it difficult to consume that amount in a day. I only weigh 95.6 pounds, but I only consume around 60 grams of protein daily. I've gained some muscle, but I was wondering if there are benefits to increasing my protein intake. Thanks

At your age, however much your mother serves to you at dinner.
Don't count or track macros at your age.

Either .8 grams per pound of bodyweight or 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. The difference between the two is pretty negligible.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a video to have 1g for however many lbs you weigh.

0.75g per pound of bodyweight is more than enough, at least for bulking it is.
