I would start by looking for some affordable gym memberships in your area. After you find one, look up basic lifting routines (I suggest starting strength). Get some multivitamins, whey protein (I mix muscle milk vanilla with orange juice) for your post workout shake, and of course the gym membership. Figure out proper forms for lifting to ensure you are being safe.

I have had a Planet Fitness membership for almost 6 years now, with minimal complaints. As much as people bash it (don't listen to them), for $20/MO I can use any location I want to as many times a month, and the hours are great. Being away for school currently, I'm between my town's gym as well as college town's gym, both with very comparable equipment (they are 3 hours apart, too!). Don't even worry about people judging, they're too busy working and worrying on themselves to even think about someone else the majority of the time. Plus, any lifting at a gym is more lifting than many others who are sitting at home watching Netflix.

Hope I helped, if you want to talk more let me know. I've lost a great deal of weight and built solid amounts of muscle from going to PF a few times a week over a very long time. I can point you toward different proteins and equipment, too.
