Like some people said, nutrition is as important as proper bodybuilding. Some points I think might be helpful from personal experience(actually been going HAM on the gym for about 2 months):

• Understand how protein, carbs, and good fat work on your body
  
• There are different type of carbs (slow burning and fast burning) Before a workout you might want to eat some fast burning carbs because that's what your body will be using for energy.
  
• Protein helps with muscle healing/repair
  
• If you want to lose weight calorie intake<calories burned
  
• If you want to build muscle calorie intake>calories burned (proper nutrition not Big Mac's)
  
• Create a routine that actually fits your schedule( I do a 4 day split M-chest T-Back TH-Shoulders & legs F-biceps & triceps) Try the app called STRONG, it allows you to create routines and tracks your workouts. Best one I found
  
• Prepare to change your eating habits. (Cut down on red meats, candy, and sodas)
  
• understand your muscle group and what exercises are used for each(proper technique is key)

Once you get all the basics down you can concentrate on looking like a vein popping tanner. You will need to do research from actual weightlifters about what is the best way to build mass(sets, reps, and break times between sets) You will also need to follow a proper calorie intake(the right type and amount of calories) to allow your body to build mass.
