It’s still a diet, but for clarity you should call it a weight gain diet:
A weight gain diet is very similar to a healthy weight loss diet. In both cases, you will eat foods that are rich in nutrients and not eliminate major food groups. You will avoid "empty calorie" foods (junk foods that contain sugar, salt, and fat, but few other nutrients)
What Is a Weight Gaining Diet?
What's good about "weight gain diet" is that it works no matter who's doing it or why (even if that someone is an animal). It's also neutral and works no matter the level of formality.

weight-gain diet is technically correct but not the same register as: I'm going on a diet. I just can't imagine a person saying that....The OP specified: what one says.

That's fine, but I have never heard anyone say that so formally. So you may say it, it's correct obviously, but it's not the same register, for me, as the question.

@Lambie there are other phrases too ("bulking up diet" for example), but a qualified "diet" really is the way to go assuming you need a noun. It might be more natural to say "I'm trying to put on weight", but that's the opposite of "I'm dieting"
