How should my diet change after I started lifting weights as a female?

I'm a 18F who started lifting weights about 3 months ago. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 118 pounds. Since starting my training, I've noticed that I've been eating a lot more, not necessarily to bulk up, but simply because I wasn't eating much before and now I'm trying to meet my protein goals. I've gained about 2 pounds during this time (from 116 to 118), and I'm feeling a bit conflicted about it. On one hand, I feel like I've gained some muscle, but on the other hand, I'm also noticing more body fat, which I'm not too happy about. Should I be eating more or less to achieve my fitness goals? I want to lose the body fat I gained
