The bodyweightfitness subreddit’s routine is solid. Perfectly good for upper body. And work on getting access to weights for squats/deadlifts.

Personal trainers and nutritionists are for people too lazy to search up the information themselves and on top of that most personal trainers suck at their job.

Would highly suggest getting access to a gym or buy a barbell and some weights , bench , squat rack and start off with Starting strength and when you get to a intermediate level switch on to wendlers 531.

Eating is mostly about calorie counting and as long as you have a healthy diet there shouldn't be a problem.

High protein , high fat and low carb does the trick when it comes to gains and losing some of that body fat % but in your case I would eat plenty of proteins , oatmeal and peanut butter on rice cakes.

A couple of recommended fitness youtubers imo are

Athlean-X

Calgary Barbell

Allan Thrall

CanditoTrainingHQ

They all teach about form and Calgary Barbell also accepts in videos of you to make a form check( usually when he livestreams or makes dedicated videos for form checks, form check friday).

Read a lot and don't give up.

Most newbies will get newbie gainz and then they get less and less muscle put on and give up , don't fall into that trap and keep doing it and lastly make short term goals and long term ones because when you start lifting you should have a goal every year.

Jeff Cavaliere's Athleanx videos on YouTube are great to dip in and out of - great for a science-backed anatomical approach to exercise

Don't over think it just go for at least 30 mins a day at least 5x a week. I worked at a gym and saw people do all sorts of shit and some can be more beneficial than others but as long as you go consistently and lift weights that challenge you, you will be fine.

To me, this is the Red Pill of the fitness industry.

You dont need to be in the gym yet. You can start with bodyweigt training for now. Do that for 6-8 months, then go to ye gym. A good reference for bldyweight training, especially if youre skinny, would be the Bar Brothers on Youtube. You can see heir transformation videos, and their many fans whp have also transformed their bodies. They went from skinny to looking athletic, and being masters of their body.

As for diet, it will mostly be a lot of trial and error. Also, don't worry about your bodyfat for now. Worry more about buildig your muscular structure. You can be fat and still look good, as long as you lift hard and seriously. Nobody cares about your abs and your 10 inch arms, even if youre 6% bodyfat.
