I have always been about 145 pounds and i'm about 5.8 o in the past 5 months i have been eating way better but i'm still gaining weight?

Nothing drastic: If you are 5'8" and 145 lbs, then your weight is normal. Your body will find a way to prevent you from being "underweight". If your diet is ok, look at your activities/exercise level and see if you can augment that aspect of your routine.
