A few tips:

Start turning those "sometimes a banana" or "sometimes some fruit" into "ALWAYS."

Also, try adding up the actually amount of calories you consume each day. Do it for a week and see where you're at. I think you'll find with healthy foods like you've listed it won't be nearly as much as you think.

You DEFINITELY need more protein. 150g protein per day for you I would say is absolute minimum. Get some meat in there! I would really really really really recommend gettin some protein powder. It's the one supplement I strongly recommend for pretty much ANYONE~!

Start a meal plan. You have to be consistent. Shoot for 2800-3000 to start with and see if you gain or lose. Adjust accordingly after a week or 2.

Bulking up using bodyweight exercises is going to be really really difficult. Find a way to get a barbell in your hand and get some weight on it! Squats, deads, bench press, military press ... they are your friends!

Good luck.
