You don't need to bulk. I've never bulked once in my life, if you know me personally, you would know I stay thick and lean all year.
Bulking is silly, unless you're planning to compete, most guys end up just getting fat when they "bulk".
Your test is somewhat low, but before deciding to play with it using TRT, I'd suggest you try out some Clomid first. I had low test a few years ago, and still fight it from time to time, Clomid is a life saver for that. My test jumped up to 40 nmol/L on Clomid alone. My endocrinologist suggested this to me, and she couldn't believe how much my test jumped (coming from 6 nmol/L), she even thought I was taking testosterone.
I'm actually surprised more guys don't go this route before going the full TRT route, because Clomid definitely worked, at least for me.
As for your training, 3 times a week is a waste of time, that volume is for maintaining, if that. You need to be in the gym 5-6 days a week for at least half a year or more to get to some kind of base you're looking for.
People think body composition changes are a quick process because they see Youtube/Instagram models on shit tons of gear doing one shit to fit videos, LOL.
You've probably heard this before, but you will need to commit more time to working your lower body. Get used to squatting, and deadlifting. I'm not going to go all "Olympic lifting bro" on you, but you need to incorporate a full leg routine each week, throwing in a day with heavy deadlifting (perhaps on your back or chest day, etc). These are your lifts that will bulk you up, you'd be surprised how much muscle your body will begin to develop throughout if you stay committed to this.
Like Skinnypup said as well, you should be going for hypertrophy, staying in the 12-15 rep range. You need to clarify your weak points better to really assess what you're doing wrong here.
