stick to a routine and good diet, give it time and you'll see results theres no special supliment you can take to speed things up it just takes time if you do it properly.

Looking at your weight and height I would say that you are a skinny person with a high metabolism? 9 stone 7!!!!!

If so and you want to put on muscle size I would recommend concentating more on the weights side rather than cardio. As for a suppliments a heavy weight gain (Carb & Protein) would be good. If your worried about gaining weight then stick to a Whey Protein but I can't see that would be an issue with you

To gain muscle size, keep the weights heavy and the reps down. Personally I would suggest that you go for no more than 10-12 reps and try to fit in some heavy sets where you can only manage say 6 reps. Try training one or two body parts a night. If you go to the gym 3-4 times a week try, back & bi's, chest & tri's, shoulders, traps & abs and lastly legs.

Might be worth putting your routine up so someone can advise on that?
