You are not going to miss the newbie gainz. First thing you must do is get rid of your skinny fat frame. Drop down your BF to 12-13%, you should be able to see 3-4 abs and have some vascularity. After that, keep eating at maintenance and lifting heavy. You must do progressive overload and work towards a goal.

As a novice lifter this should be your main goals

Bench 1x your body weight

Squat 1.5x your body weight

Deadlift 2x your body weight

This will take 8-12 months or even longer.

Do cardio AFTER lifting weights, the reason is that cardio empties all of your glycogen storages and you will not have a full tank of energy to lift. You need all the energy you can to lift weights and the rest you can use on cardio.

Do something like 30mins everyday or 1h every other day, its up to you how you split this.

Do HIIT before or after weight training. Whichever works best for you.

Cardio afterwards. You need your glycogen stores so you can use to push yourself to the max at the gym. If you do cardio before you might not be able train as hard and thus will get less out of it muscle wise.

I would recommend CrossFit. Works for me, 3 or 4 hours a week + keto = great body.

Then i can focus on other things...
