This.

I am 39 and a hard gainer. I could easily fit into the skinny-fat category at times and then in the fat category at times. I have always had an issue with food ( I love it, it hates me!).

I eat to live, not live to eat. My diet stays pretty much the same every week, almost same foods, with small variations for macro nutrients needed and bordom.

When I am building as I am currently, I will keep a closer eye on my protein intake making sure I am consuming at least 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day split into 6-7 small meals. Basic so far...

I train a different body part each day and listen to my body. When need to take a rest day, I take it. I try to keep a close eye on the amount of sleep I get. The pituitary gland secretes HGH while we sleep and good amounts are necessary for optimal growth.

I do very little cardio....10-20 min to warm-up prior to each work out. When I am cutting I will do 30-45 min 2-3times a week and high reps with ample fat and protein intake watching the carbohydrate intake trying to limit the amount of insulin production which is a precursor to fat production/storage.

It took me a year the first time I make a body transformation. I am currently on a cycle of Super-DMZ and have been blown by the gains. Good luck dude.
