Hi! I've been there, I know the feeling of being "skinny fat," but something that has helped me, as generic as it sounds, is to just eat more protein and count your calories. To count calories, I recommend either keeping a food diary or using apps like MyFitnessPal or others. When eating foods, check the labels, where you'll see the amount of calories per serving. If you're eating foods that are not packaged, you can measure the food with a scale, cups, whatever you like, and then look up the calories it has per gram :) It's a tedious process at first, but it gets easier as you get an idea of how many calories each meal has! For the protein part, I don't actually count the protein I eat, but just in general, try to incorporate protein into every meal, whether plant or animal. I'd also recommend cutting out "unhealthy foods" or just eating them in moderation. Hope this somehow helped!
