I'm 37 and struggle to stay above 160 pounds. If I don't work out and keep my calorie intake high, I get down in the 140s and feel like shite.
How I'm going to combat this is start a leg building routine to put some pounds on my sticks.
What do you do to stay at your ideal weight?

Eat a maintenance amount of calories is how most people maintain with regular exercise.
What does your diet look like? Are getting in enough carbs, good fats and protein? What does your workout regiment look like? Are you training for size or strength.

I don't have any specific diet. I usually eat 2 good meals a day and lots of dairy. I try to eat at least 2500-3000 calories but it's hard for me to eat big portions.

4 day workout: chest, arms and legs (legs twice a week).

Both, I do reps of 4 -12

I workout at home. I have a bench press straight bar and dumbells.

You should start tracking your calories on My Fitness Pal (free phone app). Obviously you need to be in a caloric surplus. Eat more protein, eat good, wholesome carbs on lifting days and eat more fats from and less carbs from heathly high fat sources on none lifting days.
As for lifting, you should keep things in the ten rep range with heavier weight. I would make every lifting day an upper and lower body day. (Bench and deads on one day, shoulder press and squats on the other with neccessary supportive lifts.)
There are better educated guys on here that can give you specific diet and training programs, but that’s basically the gist of it.
