I was in the same boat as you. 6'1" and 165lbs. I had dieted for a long time (14 months straight) and it just got to the point where I could lose no more fat. It was frustrating to feel that I was so close to being "done" yet couldn't get there.
With a lot of help from this forum, I switched to bulking up. Going well, so far, five weeks into it.
You might check out John Berardi's Massive Eating articles. That's what I'm following. It's a little daunting to start, but once you get in the swing of it, not to bad.
Here are some links. It seems like a lot of reading, I know. I've actually read most of them several times.

Those are the main ones, but there's plenty more good related articles at his site. Like these...

and pretty much anything else in the Nutrition section.

A lot of good stuff there...
