Do you do squats without extra weight?
Or are you talented enough to juggle with the bar on your shoulders?

I'm 1,70 m and I weight like 53 kg so I'm really skinny and it annoys me. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do to gain just a little bit of muscle at the very least? I also don't have weights or any equipment at all at home so that's why I'm having trouble starting ._. what can I do without those?

There are good body excersises like squats,lunges,planks,push ups etc. that can be done without any equipment that might give you some gains

I've been lifting for a while, but it really didn't do much. I speculate the reason is that I was eating enough protein (120 grams is enough daily?) but was eating 2000-2200 calories a day. Recently I've been eating a LOT more calories a day and have been seeing vast improvements in what I can lift. However, I know this will gain fat as well as muscle. Is there any way I can quickly gain a BUNCH of muscle and then lose all the fat?
I'm kinda sick of lifting without results and now that I'm getting them I'm very impatient.
Also if I do arms/abs one day, legs/lower back the other day is that a good routine? I do 4 sets of 5 and usually lift 5 days a week.

How many repetitions do you do per set?
Well you will have to shed the fat with cardio or HIIT training. But it's hard to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time which is why people usually divide it into "cutting" where you eat less to lose body fat, but also might lose some muscle, and "bulking" to gain muscle but gain some fat too. If you eat way more calories than you need gaining fat is kind of inevitible. The best you can do is to redce the amount of fat with cardio/HIIT and getting your calories from very good sources(like chicken,brown rice etc. )
Do you not do any shoulder,chest and upper back excercises?
You have quite an unusual combination going. Not necessarily bad but very different.
Most people do legs/abs and split triceps and biceps on different days.
5 times a week is quite a lot. Are you resting enough? Because if ou overkill your muscles they will have a harder time developing
