>Eat calorie surplus >Sit down >Legs go into over drive

Can't fucking find it now, but I read a study where they put a bunch of people on some specific calorie surplus for some time. Unsurprisingly, pretty much everyone gained body weight at the end but there was a small percentage of skinny motherfuckers that didn't gain shit. Turned out their bodies were getting rid of the extra energy by slightly raising body temperature and burning it that way.

I have some nice gains already, so staying lean easily is actually pretty comfy, but I'm really trying to bulk atm

if it's the study I'm thinking of it was not body temperature, it was increases in activity/fidgeting throughout the day that amounted to way way more calories expended because of NEAT

might be this one

This only happens with protein and carbs though. Fat is easier for your body to store so it does so. It takes a few extra steps to store protein or carbs as fat so a skelly body decides 'fuck it' and burns it off as energy. That's why when they get older, and their body starts to think 'oh shit I need to protect muh organs' it stores the energy they'd usually burn off as fat and you get the skinnyfat or just fatfat 25+ year olds.
