It doesn't mean your sessions need to be longer - they maybe need to be more intense, and certainly need to be more based around compound power movements. Squats, deadlifts, barbell rows, flat bench press, chins, military press are all big heavy movements that have a proven reputation for building muscle and strength.
You might want to do a full body workout every 4-5 days, or maybe do an upper/lower split every 3 days. Or split the body up 3 ways in a week (Mon/Wed/Fri for instance) and do push/pull/legs. You can then do the cardio work or GPP work on your other days.
The main things are: compound lifts, perfect form, progressive resistance (putting the weight up by a SMALL amount EVERY session) and beating plateaus by changing your workouts regularly.
Also, especially being a veggie (are you veggie or vegan?), you want to do everything you can to get in as much protein as possible, as this could be another potential problem area.
