Specs:
I got it all from amazon:
pullup bar
resistance bands
gymnast rings
i actually hang my rings from the pullup bar. my setup isn't optimal, but its the best i could do in my house. my house is 2 floors, and the main hallway goes all the way to the top of the 2nd floor, so i could hang it there and not worry about anything above my head (so, yeah, my pullup bar is in the middle of a hallway right as you come in my house. the bar extends into the middle of the walkway, so if i don't tidy things up, you just have stuff dangling down).
my pullup bar is high enough that i have to jump up to reach. this gives me the space to be able to do do an l sit muscle up without bonking my head on the bar. if i try to skin the cat with advanced tuck, then my feet are going to hit the wall that leads to the stairs upstairs, so normally i'll just do front lever progressions and then turn around and do back.
honestly the worst part is trying to find a place to put the pullup bar.
WE have a set very similar to these

Barbell bench press.
Another option would be take a resistance band like these and wrap it around your back when you press to give you more resistance with the dumbbells
This is an example.
You could also use mechanical advantage dropsets. Start the set with the bench at an incline and go to failure or close to it, then drop the bench flat and finish it with the same weight.
So it actually took me about 2 years to get from barely able to do knee push ups to be able to 1 complete push up. I don't know if this is the best path, but I started out benching and then once I was able to bench more than half my weight I switched over to stair push ups and quickly moved to a real push up. I slowly worked my way up from just the bar (45lb) to being able to bench 85lb and I weighed about 150-155lb once I hit this point. My upper body was so weak that I just wanted to build up the strength. Then I started doing push ups 3 stairs up then worked my way down in about 3-4 weeks until I was able to do a complete push up. My BF says I could have just focused on the stairs and made the same goal. But the only pectoral focused exercise I do now are push ups since quitting the bench a few months ago. You could try the chest press at a gym, but free weight compounds (bench and push ups) are best.
But I definitely understand where you're coming from with the pull ups in public. You just have to focus on yourself and your own goals. You deserve to do what you want and reach your goals! But TBH, if you can't do a push up, you probably can't do a pull up. I've been doing the lat pull down for a couple of years and switched to assisted pull ups a couple weeks ago. There are machines at gyms where you can adjust how much the part you stand/kneel on supports you or you can use long resistance bands (I borrow the ones at the gym I go to but these are an example of what they look like). You just have to loop the band over the pull up bar and then get your feet on it and they will help you practice the form of the pull up while still using assistance.
If you have access to workout bands that people use to help with pull-ups/stretching (like these ) you can loop it around the rail at the furthest forward point that the seat rollers should go.
I mean I have these.

Keeping in mind affordability and portability, a powerlifting spin (and that I’m on mobile, so sorry about formatting):
I like these loop bands - INTEY Pull up Assist Band Exercise Resistance Bands for Workout Body Stretch Powerlifting Set of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07226JDDD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WYixDbD6DZA6M
As well as these mini bands - Flex Active Sports Resistance Loop Bands - Set of 5 Fitness Exercise Bands for Fitness Workouts - Stretching and Physical Therapy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAC8IY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4ZixDbJN381PK
For the big loops, I use mainly the red one, sometimes black. I’m super weak though lol.
I also use a door anchor with those a lot!
For the mini bands, I like having all the resistance levels because I’m a fan of drop sets when using them.
I've got this band set and it's been great. Solid addition to my home gym.
I got a set off of amazon that have been working pretty well so far, but I haven't progressed to a lighter band yet (only a few weeks). https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07226JDDD?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
I have enjoyed using bands one day, and doing negatives another.
I don't have them, but if you have any interest in climbing and grip strength you might like these ring-like object with climbing board additions. Here a review by training pal.
I have a set of resistance bands like this one (some random off name brand)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07226JDDD/ref=twister_B07CWRNJNH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It's pretty cheap and it's the piece of equipment I use the most after my rings. I use them for shoulder dislocates, band pull aparts, face pulls, band resisted sumo deadlifts, band resisted pushups, band assisted planche work, etc. I paid something like 35€ for 4 different bands IIRC
Paralletes are nice to have if you want to increase the range of motion pike pushups (you can also just use stairs though)
The bands i got for at home workouts. They come with a bag too. I like these long ones because you can loop them around to make them half the size if you do something like squats with extra glute resistance.

2 sets of them.
You don't ever have to step into a gym, but you can do a lot with exercise bands and 20 minutes every day or two.
Having more muscle mass will make weight loss easier. IF will also raise your growth hormone, which may make building the muscle a little easier.
