This is the method that worked for me, I am not sure if this is the correct one.

All I did was to clone my blog from my git repository in another directory, then, using rbenv I have installed the 2.6.3 version of ruby and swithed to it.

Then renamed the Gemfile.lock in order not to lose changes.

mv Gemfile.lock Gemfile.lock.bak

Then I have installed bundler

gem install bundler

After that I have edited the Gemfile from this

gem "middleman", "~>3.3.12"
gem "middleman-blog", "~> 3.5.3"

To this

gem "middleman", "~>4.3.6"
gem "middleman-blog", "~> 4.0.0"

Finally I run

bundle install

That was it.
