Hi Erin Camp. Welcome to Grokker! And congrats on getting back into working out!
I would take the approach of trying to build muscle, as that would likely result in healthy weight gain. Some tips on buliding muscle:
1. You will want to lift heavier weights to stimulate muscle growth.
2. Aim for lower reps (6-10) so that you can lift the heavier weights while stil keeping the proper form.
3. Work each muscle group twice a week as that is the most effective way for building mass.
4. Make sure you are eating enough protein to build these muscles.
