https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/0982522738 this should be a staple of every person starting the gym. If you're not much into reading, then check out author's YouTube channel.
Always start with a warm up, rowing machine is generally most efficient for the whole body.
5sets x5reps for strenght and slow size progression. If you want to focus mostly on building muscle fast, then go for classic 4x8 or 3x12 approx 3 times a week, day on, and day off, plus weekend off for stretching/foam rolling or anything else that can improve your recovery process, but that's a bonus.
Your goal is a linear progression, meaning you pick a weight that you can complete 1set of 12 repetitions that will challenge you, but not wreck you, because you still have 2 more sets to do. You want to make sure you fully complete every set, without cheating. If you can't do it, that means there is too much weight on the bar. Leave your ego at the door, and drop the weight.
If you can complete all your sets and all your reps with good form, next time you train, you slightly increase the weight, and that will keep you going. At the beginner stage you don't need any fancy techniques like drops sets, iso holds, rest pasues, etc. So don't worry about all that stuff for another year or even two.
For hypertrophy (muscle pump) you want to keep the rest periods between sets to 90 seconds max. Set the timer or just count your breathes.
You will quickly notice that everyone you ask, will give you a different sort of advice, and claim that their plan is the best.
Don't fall for a shiny object syndrome pick a plan and stick with it for 3 months. Track all your numbers, so you know what works and what doesnt.
Take a before picture so you can compare it to your results.
Read up on the diet, but basic premise is that you need to consume more calories that you burn every day in order to put on weight. Aim for 10-15% more kcal than you need. If after a week you see no difference on the scale increase your kcal intake by another 5%
Aim for 1gram of lean protein for every 1lbs of your body weight daily, and eat carbs mostly around the workout time. Clean bulk is always more efficient than eating a lot of crap and then wasting time to burn off the unwanted fat.

Make sure you get your 8h if sleep, because that's when the muscle actually grow. In the gym, very often less is more.
Building bigger muscles in oversimplified terms comes down to the time under tension and mechanical damage that muscle is exposed to, so you want to learn how to contract your muscles properly. Resistance bands are a safe and efficient way to do so. Essentially you want to feel the" burn" in the target muscle.
Additionally you can throw in some creatine (dirt cheap) and very efficient. If you're just starting you will notice gains really fast and you can train to the extreme, since your max won't be big enough to truly tax your central nervous system.
The most important thing is to gather some knowledge first, because you can waste a lot of time doing stuff that's doesn't work. If i had a chance to start again i would have found the best looking personal trainer at the gym, or someone who has clients with the desired results and paid him/her to teach me the basics to significantly accelerate my progress.
Remember that good technique builds the strength, but strength doesn't build good technique. And in this case technique refers to safety and efficiency of moving the load from point a to point b.
Get some good music on your playlist and while you keep your final destination in mind, learn to enjoy the process.
That should be enough to get you started.

Good luck and have fun plus don't forget to update us in your progress ;)
I have a meal every 4 hours. Either regular food or a protein shake, or a combination of the two.
To help you gain weight and develop your muscles more quickly, you can buy weight gain powder that can be mixed in whole milk for extra calories. Dymatize super mass gainer is a good one: it tastes very good, and works.

You can drink it with meals to add protein and calories; and can drink it by itself. Its a good idea to have a solid meal and/or weight gainer every 4 hours. This will help you gain weight and develop your muscles more quickly.
​
Also make sure to drink this within one hour after working out, preferably within 15 minutes. During the hour after a workout your body is primed to absorb much more protein than normal to build your muscles.

Pm me if you want any more tips to help you out as you start working out. I could tell what worked for me:

I'd recommend buying any cheap jump rope to start so you can learn how to jump properly. (not sure your experience level based off this post)
​
Then, when you're comfortable, I'd consider this set. $88 but well worth the $$. I've had mine for close to a year now...I use it every workout (I'm in the gym 6-7 days a week) and it's still in great condition. Because of its ball-bearings system, it's got the smoothest jump. The weighted ropes also engage your shoulders/biceps. It's awesome, man...Amazon link -

I was in the same boat. Try this stuff. Its effective, and I can use it before going to the gym at night and still have no problem falling asleep :) plus, it's not very expensive! The fruit punch is super yummy

They’re made by a company called Cleer. I got them about 4 years ago when they were only sold in airports for around $200. Now you can get them on Amazon way cheaper. They sound great. I used them for audio sound mixing.

I would not do this between two chairs and palms down, that's asking for long term injury on your wrist
can you do it ? sure ? just don't complain when your wrist gets permanently injure and you can't do dips in the future
Just look up bodyfat tests, there's many different types from calipers to water. Here's my favorite.

Amazon has it slightly cheaper.
