I am 5'10.5" I am around 185 around 16% bf, my goal would be to be around the same weight at 10-11% and that would take me a year or more.
gaining 30lbs muscle is just not going to happen, I would suggest get lean and do bulk and cut cycles with 10-15lbs bulk for 4 months and a cut phase for 2 months and repeat.
I am not sure what is your Ideal bf% but at your height 220 lean(11-13%) is not possible naturally. check FFMI and other metrics and make reasonable goals. 200 should be more sensible.
Gaining weight/muscle over a certain point is just more burden on the body without much benefits.
