First, I would highly recommend a teacher if at all possible. Piano technique is a lot more subtle than it would seem.

Get a decent piano method (I recommend the Alfred Adult Method) and some technical studies (Hanon and/or Czerny).

It depends on what you are trying to do.

Definitely scales, major and minor, hands together, four octaves up and back.

Definitely arpeggios, of both major and minor, triads and sevenths.

If you are trying to do improvisation, learning pentatonic scale exercises are really important. I do one like:

1235 2356 3561 5612 6123

Up the piano separately as well as hands together, major and minor.

(Going down would be: 5321 3216 2165 1653 6532)

(And those are scale degrees, not fingerings.)

And then there are classical exercises such as this and this

In that case Bergmuller probably too simple for you. Perhaps look at some Czerny if you really feel the need to do 'exercises'. His 'School of Velocity' that you'll find on Amazon is always a good option - something my own piano teacher put me on probably 30 years ago. I no longer do things like this ... instead trying to turn difficult passages into a set of exercises to help me build them up gradually - so rarely focussing on any single finger per se. I find this approach more interesting than Hanon etc. as even though things can be many hours of hard work, I always have the feeling that I'm working on 'music'. If you're interested, you could watch this video on how I broke down Cadenza 2 of Liszt Libestraum.
