No it is not because u need a surplus of calories in order to recover and allow your muscles to grow to its potential. It is possible though to reduce the amount of fat gained by clean bulking as opposed to a dirty bulk.
So i should eat a lot before I go to sleep is what you mean? So my body has enegery in it to make some gains.

Are you meaning fat as opossed to weight, as of course if something is bigger it will weigh more.

The time u eat really has no difference between how much u gain. What u need to do first is to calculate your daily calorie intake and add about 300-500 calories on top of that to gain some weight. Also eat between 0.8 to 1 gram of however much u weigh. So if u weigh 170 pounds try to eat at least 170 grams of protein give or take. Protein is very important in order to build muscle.

Follow me to the truth
The number on the scale don't mean much. What you see in the mirror and how much muscle/fat you have means more.
Muscle is going to weigh more so if you want more muscle you're going to gain more weight.

Why is this even a concern?
The scale is irrelevant in terms of body composition.
