To gain muscle you absolutely must achieve something called progressive overload (progression in some form with your strength training) without any form of progression you will not be gaining muscle.
The first option for the majority is to increase the amount of weight that you lift but this isn't necessarily the best option. Being able to train with less rest, improving your range of motion/form, more rep/set volume, or lifting with a more tasking tempo are all ways to improve and achieve progressive overload. For optimal longevity and safety when lifting It is recommend to progress with reps, tempo and form etc before moving onto heavier weight.
As a general guideline once you progress with any of these progression methods for 2 weeks straight, you can increase the difficulty again.
Remember also progress with your strength and size isn't always linear!
