Yes, that is possible, but it is quite difficult.  Here is Dan's ultimate mass building article that touches on gaining muscle and losing fat.

I personally think that you need more carbs than what you have, and maybe a little less protein.

The first 7 years I trained I went from 155 to 215 and gained 0 fat. It is easy to gain muscle without fat, it just takes time, dedication, consistancy and a good training program and diet.

At 17 you need more than 150 carbs a day....I would say at least 300 carbs and at least 3000 cal a day if not more depending on your body weight and LBM.
If you can bench press more than you can squat you should be ashamed.
