It is possible to gain muscle weight if you were previously following a low fat/low protein/low calorie diet. When a person loses weight in that way, a large percentage of that is lean muscle mass. Eating adaquate protein will give you back your lean muscle mass that you lost if those were your circumstances.

Eating extra protein will not help you bulk up unless you are regularly working muscles and letting them rest and repair between workouts.

If you are gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time, the tape measure or the pant- o-meter will show the results rather than the scale.
