Hello and welcome to HCM,
In order to gain muscle mass, a training schedule couples with supplements is required.
However, strength training and supplements should be taken under supervision of a certified expert.
The diet also needs to be planned for building muscle mass.
Time taken for building muscle mass varies from person to person and depends on the body type.
I suggest you to perform all training, taking supplements and diet under supervision of a trainer.
Thanks and take care
