Eating more and body adjustment

So I have been eating way too low for about 8 years and hit a plateau hard. I have always eaten healthy and clean but not enough macros for my workout plan.

I am starting to see it in my body holding onto fat in certain places and my workouts being level or declining.

So I have decided to start counting the calories and trying to hit my macros on a 40/40/20 ratio.

I guess my question comes in on how long does it take your body to adjust to the new diet (more calories)? I am sure I will gain weight but when will the weight gain turn to muscle and my body start accepting the new more calorie plan?

I am a male and my weight has bounced from 155-160lbs. I was eating about 1800 calories a day very low carb and mostly protein. I work out 6 days a week, 20 minutes of running, and hour to an hour and a half lifting.

I have bumped up my calories to 2400 a day and trying to hit the 40/40/20 macro levels. I dont even know if 2400 is enough but i know it is more than i have had in the past and the carb increase is pretty large. Coming close to 200g / day vs maybe gettin 80 / day before.
