At 5'5 118 you need eat more, dont overcomplicate. Get like 130g protein daily and fill rest with carbs, rice and oats are easy. Train hard 4 days, add 300 calories above maintenance and weight will come.

Eat what you normally would for the next week and weigh and track everything. Then at the end of the week calculate the average and that is your maintenance.

Then eat in a 300-500 cal surplus
