I agree with what Blackv6 is saying.
Your situation is normal, the average person who begins resistance training typically maintains the same weight, but finds gains in: lean tissue, decreased body fat, bone density, and ligament and tendon strength.
Considering you've been training for a decent amount of time, you should have already gained a bit of muscle mass. This increase in lean tissue would increase your body's energy expenditure and from what I'm seeing, it looks like you already have quite a high natural metabolism. Most people manage to get their daily requirements of protein through their diets, so since you're on the supplement, it's safe to say protein isn't an issue here. Increase your caloric intake and offset the energy balance.
