Settings/Accounts/Add an account/Google (the 'g'), add your gmail address.

You can't save contacts to an email account, it has to be a Google account - even if they're the same address.

And when you add a contact, make sure the type is "Google", not "Device" or "Phone" - only Google contacts sync. (If you have non-Google contacts now, export them, them import them as Google contacts. After you check a contact to make sure it's correct, delete the ole Phone or Device contact (you're have duplicates). Or just sync to Google, then go to Google Contacts and eliminate duplicates.
