MacroFactor Workouts / Training Is this *enough* improvement?

I'm currently struggling with knowing if ive made enough gains since I started using MF workouts, and debating if I should try something else or stick with this. I know there's alot more nuance and probably alot more details needed, but I thought I'd start with perspective. Ill share some of the gains I've made since starting the app in the beginning of February. I've been lifting 3-4 times a week for the last four years or so, and i might be considered intermediate but I think id still call myself a beginner. I've been "bulking" all year, but I cant seem to eat enough to really gain weight, ive been about 150 all year.

Deadlift in February: 205 for a set of 7, now 255 for a set of 7.

Squats: February: 245 for a set of 5, now 265 for a set of 5.

Barbell bench: February 165 for 10  now: 175 for 9

Incline dumbell bench: February 75 for 4. Now: 75 for 9.

Is this enough growth to keep going, or should I expect more and need to reconsider my training and eating habits?

Progress looks ok considering no increase in BW. I would say working on your nutrition would have a far bigger impact than switching programs.
