I had so much protein but saw NO gains

I've worked out on and off for years and never saw any gains. My strength never increased either. I lifted as heavy as I could without sacrificing form, and I did lots of compound exercises.

During college I worked out for a few months and ate loads of protein, but still no gains.

The problem wasn't thati want eating enough, because I ate enough to get belly fat and love handles.

I'm 5'9" and 120 lbs.

I have 5 theories as to why I couldn't gain muscle:

1) I didn't gain muscle because I was only sleeping an average of 6 hours per night

2) I didn't gain muscle because my carbs were mostly from added sugar.

3) I didn't gain muscle because only about 10% of my calories were from fat

4) I didn't gain muscle because I have an anxiety disorder (possibly screws up hormones?)

5) I didn't gain muscle because it is impossible for most people to bulk up naturally.

Which one is most likely? Any other reasons I didn't gain muscle?
