It depends what your actual maintenance is. You don't need to have a big surplus to put on size. Have a read of this

76kg (I don't know why so many people on this forum use stone but sure look) is not heavy for your height.

As Alf has pointed out above, you don't have to be in a big surplus to gain muscle. If 2500 cals is maintenance for you, then going to 2750 is a conservative increase that will mean the majority of weight gained is muscle.

Just also ensure you're taking in a good amount of protein (1.5 - 2g per kg bwt.) and following a proper strength programme.

If you are new to weight lifting you will gain without 'bulking'. Beginners rarely need any surplus. They just need to train.

Its really only when you hit a plateau after lifting a while or you feel you need to eat a bit more (physically) that you should create a surplus.
