Good for you in starting man. My two cents advice:
- "Fitness every damn day" - do something every day, if you must take a day off, make it an 'active day off'
- the usual: lift - eat* - sleep - repeat
- *learn about nutrition, keep it simple, eat clean
- find someone who has the type of body you target, and study them

Oversimplified but a place to start at.
I also recommend Bodybuilding.com All Access or another app that provides you workout plans that are already made up: once you do those for a while you'll get a hang of them and can ween them or drop them and go on your own. Or if you can afford it, a trainer at least 2x week (who trains you on those two sessions and sets you up to go solo three or four other sessions that week).

Lift on!

Read Starting Strength. Focus on compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, overhead and bench presses) and try to continue to gradually increase weight. Priortize lifting heavy for fewer sets (e.g., 5x5 or 4x6) and leave the higher rep exercises for accessory lifts toward the end of your workout. And nutrition is key.

benchpress, deadlift, squat, overhead press is all you need!

Learn proper technique and form. Search and watch different tutorials how to execute those compound movements in correct form.
Form is way more important then the weight itself!

Besides that its for stay lean, kcal in vs kcal out.

Be consistent and try to enjoy the excersises
