Stijn, I have been riding a road bike for years and it does take time and efficient workouts to get the muscle gains you want.
Don't just go out and hump it every day. You must do sprints one day alternating with spinning(high rpms work out) another day. And yes rest is important. But not resting by taking a day off completely. You are a young man so you'll get plenty of rest during 8 hours of sleep , BUT don't punish your muscles every day.
Also pay attention to technique. Are you pulling UP with one foot when the other is pushing down? Is your upper body relatively "quiet" when pedalling? And is your position on the bike correctly adjusted?
These are all critical to your development.
