I agree with the few ppl who posted here about upping your calories. The average human body burns about 70 calories per hour by simply using your involuntary organs.. heart, breathing, digestive, etc. The only way to gain weight is if your body is in starvation mode. I find the more I eat, the more I lose. I do also agree with you that everyone's body is different. I hope to hear some good reports soon about your progress. I hope you find out what is causing your body to be so stubborn!
