Strong Lifts 5x5. Do that until you can't put any more weight on. For bonus points, do some bicep and tricep workouts on Day A, and an extra core exercise on Day B. Also run (not far but fast) after every workout. Then stretch.

For a new gym goer there's no such thing as "focusing on a body part" (unless we talking about rehabilitation work).

Do full body work outs 3x / week. Al exercises with barbells or body weight (for example pull ups/chin ups).

There's really nothing special about you nor routine you should use (unless you have some medical issues).

Eat good and learn good form on all exercises. That should keep you busy for at least 6 months.

Arms, Shoulders and Legs....they are the most noticeable and usually show the quickest results while you work on the more difficult areas like chest and back.

Arms - Biceps and TRICEPS both not just biceps.

Shoulders - concentrate on squeezing the muscles and all three heads of the shoulder...bonus in that they don't require or need heavy weights simply that you work thru the burn and feeling the muscles contracting\releasing....plus they strengthen a muscle group first which usually is the first and nearly always endus up getting injured as newbies work toward moving heavier and heavier weight to develop the chest\back\arms.

Legs - REQUIRED for overall strength and for getting the look which attract women which is a strong lower body that for some reason signals to women: ---"...that this dude can fuck me hard." ----.....you have to do SQUATs but do them the right way again. Start with lighter weight and focus on full contraction for the thighs and ass as well with stretching the necessary hip joints until you can fully bend to a sitting position then up....then start to work on increasing the weight as much as possible.

And most importantly.....which is usually overlooked by newbies but is really one of the most important parts.....
........EAT properly and give your muscles the REST time to actually grow in between workouts.
