Not really such a thing as a hardgainer, either your diet or routine is lacking.

Seeming your allready working out do dougs 4 day split (In the workout section)

With your diet you want to aim for around 5-6 meals a day, with 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight. Include different protien sources and many complex carbs, from brown rice/pasta. Oats and cereals etc

In my experience, every person I have ever known who has ever claimed to be a hard-gainer has been wrong. There is nothing wrong with them except for bad diet.

Every one of them, without exception, started seeing excellent results after fixing their diet.

Hard-gainer = Bad diet.
Period.

I agree with Possum and Saurus above, Its mostly always the nutrition that is the problem with people who class themselves as hardgainers...
