Cardio is fine. Weights? Just do different muscle groups

If you did chest one day, do legs the next.

Or, just do some cardio.

Why aren't you following a beginner's program like stronglifts if you don't even know the basics?

I do ppl split 6 days a week. It's not gonna kill you.

Depends on what you're doing at the gym. If you're working different muscles it's fine.

if it's nothing crazy like very heavy compound exercises you should be fine. Just make sure you eat some carbs and protein after your night workout and have a protein shake with a banana before your morning workout

Try to get 48-72h (depending on size, intensety yada yada) of rest between training the same muscles again. Meaning:

pick a, established program and follow it
training every day is fine if you train different muscles, try to get at least one rest day per week though.

Do different muscle groups. Do cardio when you're walking up and weights closer to bedtime. Cardio before sleep reduces the quality of sleep for many (myself included)

The reason stronglifts suggests time off is because when you first start lifting your tendons are weak. They take much much longer to gain strength than muscles so you can mess yourself up pretty good. Training different groups should mitigate the risk to your body.
