Even if your whey is a few calories off(as if labeling is ever honest), it shouldn't matter, especially if you consume it immediately post workout. I think you need to examine your diet, maintenance calories and beyond. If you are gaining weight, and your profile says you have been training for a while, then I would guess your caloric intake is too high. Start adjusting it downward by about 250 calories per week,when the weight gain stops and you level off, then you have your maintenance calories. Then as you state your goal is to drop some fat, decrease again by 250 per till weight loss begins. Stop there and let that run its course, when the weight loss stops, repeat. Do this 2-3 times only, then it may be actually time to increase your calories a bit. Make sure your macronutrients are correct. A good option for gaining muscle and trying to get lean too would be a 50/20/30 type diet, P/C/F. Get a minimum of your bodyweight in protein, your carbs should come from mainly fibrous sources like brown rice, beans, leafy greens, etc. One starchy carb such as sweet potato earlier in the day is good too. YOur fats should come from healthy sources, raw nuts, flax oil, salmon(fish oils), olive oil, etc. Good luck, and hope this helps.
