You've taken some sort of analysis course already? A lot of real analysis textbooks will cover Lebesgue integration to an extent.

Some good introductions to analysis that include content on Lebesgue integration:

Walter Rudin, principle of mathematical analysis, I think it is heavily focused on the real numbers, but a fantastic book to go through regardless. Introduces Lebesgue integration as of at least the 2nd edition (the Lebesgue theory seems to be for a more general space, not just real functions).

Rudin also has a more advanced book, Real and Complex Analysis, which I believe will cover Lebesgue integration, Fourier series and (obviously) covers complex analysis.

Carothers Real Analysis is the book I did my introductory real analysis course with. It does the typical content (metric spaces, compactness, connectedness, continuity, function spaces), it has a chapter on Fourier series, and a section (5 chapters) on Lebesgue integration.

Royden's real analysis I believe covers very similar topics and again has a long and detailed section on Lebesgue integration. No experience with it, recommended for my upcoming graduate analysis course.

Bartle, Elements of Integration is a full book on Lebesgue integration. Again, haven't read it yet, recommended for my upcoming course. It is supposed to be a classic on the topic from what I've heard.

Awesome! As mentioned, Rudin, Folland, and Royden are the gold standards of measure theory, at least from what I have heard from professors and the internet. I'm sure other people have found other good ones! Another few I somewhat enjoy are Capinski and Kopp and Dudley, as those are more based on developing probability theory. Two of my professors also suggested Billingsley, though I have not really had a good chance to look at it yet. They suggested that one to me after I specifically told them I want to learn measure theory for its own right as well as onto developing probability theory. What is your background in terms of analysis/topology? Also, I am teaching myself basic measure theory (measures, integration, L^p spaces), then I think that should be enough to look into advanced probability. Feel free to PM me if you need some help finding some of these books! I prefer approaching this from the pure math side, so mathematical statistics gets a bit too dense for me, but either way, I would look at probability then try to apply it to statistics, especially at a graduate level. But who am I to be doling out advice?!
