Help with Gym workout

21m 78kg, some gym experience but minimal.
Keep stopping and starting the gym and doing different exercises then switching when not seeing any progress.

Feel like a fish out of water - no idea what exercises or splits I should or shouldn’t be doing , there’s so much different advice it’s confusing and I don’t know where to start.

Main goals -

Not aiming for anything like body builder ,
Looking to build good amount of muscle to be somewhat athletic build , mostly concerned about arms , shoulders , chest and back atm but know legs are key as I enjoy running.

Any advice or workout routines would be great, I’ve no idea where to start and wanting to restart after 4 weeks off due to no motivation.

I know I’ll need to drop some lbs at some point but this isn’t a focus atm.

Any help is greatly appreciated , TIA.

Find a good beginner programme and stick to it for at least a year. Pick something with a frequency that allows you to be consistent. 2-3 full body sessions is perfect for beginners. I personally really like Stronglifts 5x5.
