I hear stories about guys gaining around 30 lbs of muscle in this time. Am i doing something wrong considering i didnt add a serious amount of weight, all i did was loose all the fat and uped my weight 7 lbs.

Do the math. You gained quite a bit of muscle. By my calculations you gained a bit over 20 pounds of lean mass. Converse to what you have heard, I also have seen countless people gain no more than 5-10 pounds after their first year.
