It can be either. For example, if you have been eating unwisely and getting little or no exercise it will be fat. If you have been weight training and eating wisely it will be muscle.

What foods should you eat to gain weight while excerising?
If you are doing weight training, protein is the best source of food to put on muscle, if you want to put fat on, then exercising probably isn't a good way to put fat on. It all comes down to well balanced diet though.
If you are weight training 4 times a week will you gain weight on the scales because you are putting on muscle before you lose any weight?

Should a 120-pound 14-year-old boy take weight gaining supplements if he is trying to gain muscle mass and strength and decrease body fat percentage?
No. He should learn how to lift barbells properly and put on some muscle before worrying about his fat percentage. Again I say it - Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe.

Is it wrong that you want to put on some weight?
It depends. If you are under wait then no it is not wrong. Also if you have normal weight for your height and age then it may be okay to put on muscle weight through exercise. But wanting to gain weight through fat is probably ill advised. Eating chips all day to gain weight is ill advised. Eating Cheetos all day is ill advised. If you want to get really fat and gain weight I would say you may want to consider counseling or Sumo wrestling lessons. I am not a professional and I could probably use a little dieting and exercise myself. Maybe try health magazines. Get a nutrition guide and exercise.
Will working out everyday cause you to get bigger first before losing weight?
In order to really gain muscle size from weight training, you have to eat in excess of your maintenance calories, and lift heavy. Your genetics also play a role in how much muscle you will put on from weight lifting. If you're looking to simply lose weight, weight training is, in my opinion, a better choice than doing strictly cardio. This is because your muscles are then burning extra calories even at rest. Whereas when you do cardio, you are only burning extra calories during that cardio session. If you are trying to put on as much muscle as you can, and eating about 600-700 calories higher than your maintenance, then you will definitely get bigger, and not lose much fat, if any at all. You will probably even gain some fat in the process. However, when you decide to diet down after putting on some size, the extra muscle will help burning off extra calories. Just remember that exercise alone won't make you gain muscle or lose fat - diet is the most important. You need to eat according to your goals.
