Good question. There is a lot of “bro science” out there and a lot of people end up wasting loads of time on ineffective workouts.
A good one-stop-shop place to get started is the book Thinner Leaner Stronger by Mike Matthews. It isn’t exhaustive but if you read it and put it into practice you will be ahead of at least 75% of people in the gym in terms of knowing how to lift effectively. He also has a free podcast, “Muscle For Life”, that is really helpful too.
In a nutshell lifting can be put in two categories depending on your goals: cutting (losing a lot of fat while retaining as much muscle as possible) and bulking (gaining muscle while gaining as little fat as possible).
Your actual scale weight is more or less irrelevant, it’s really all about body composition (amount of fat relative to muscle, or body fat percentage).
Most women look best between 17-25% depending on their body.
Moderate to advance lifters basically have to either cut or bulk, so most bulk for awhile then cut, bulk then cut, etc. until they reach their goal. Think of it like 3 steps forward 1 step back.
Beginners who are just starting to train can do both at the same time until their body adapts to the lifting. This is an over simplification, but essentially your body is so under developed that you can gain muscle and shed fat until you reach a “normal” healthy body comp. This phenomenon is known as “newbie gains”.
There are three key components to building a great physique: lifting, recovery, and diet.
Lifting heavy weights puts unusually high stress on your muscles to the point where they are slightly damaged (catabolic). To adapt to the new level of work your muscles are being asked to do, during your recovery your body will build them back up, only stronger (anabolic). In order to recover well, your body needs a lot of protein and energy from your diet. Not only that, it needs a lot of sleep. This process is known as hypertrophy, which is a fundamental part of building a great body.
Energy balance is a very important thing to this entire process. As you go about your day doing normal activity you burn a certain amount of calories on average. This is known as your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). Most women probably burn around 1,800+- 200 calories a day (this number goes up as activity increases, so people who exercise regularly typically have a higher TDEE than people who don’t).
Someone with perfect energy balance (2,000 calories consumed, 2,000 calories burned) will not gain or lose weight. If they consume 1,800 and burn 2,000 the body will take the remaining 200 from fat stores. If they consume 2,200 calories and burn 2,000, the 200 excess calories are stored as fat for later consumption. Or, and this is the key, if the body has damage it will use these extra calories to repair the damage. Thus, to gain muscle one has to slightly injure the muscle, then eat a caloric surplus in order for the body to have enough energy and material to repair and strengthen the muscle.
This is a big over simplification but for functional purposes it is close enough.
As far as the actual lifting goes, heavy compound (uses multiple major muscle groups) are a great place to start. The squat, deadlift, and bench press are the “big three” primary lifts most strength programs are built around. Even if your goals are purely aesthetic, you’d still benefit from learning these movements and gaining a solid strength baseline.
There is a lot more but this should be plenty to get started. Believe it or not, the entire thing becomes a lot of fun and it is extremely motivating when you see your body start to change for the better!
So I'll give some general skincare advice and some acne specific advice since many of the posters here are dealing with that. If the acne part isn't relevant, you can skip ahead.
Acne
Acne is caused by sebum (skin oil), the oil clogs pores and attracts bacteria, leading to inflammation, which causes pus formation and pimples. Tendency to develop acne is sometimes genetic, but you can still kill it.
Get the sebum under control first. Make sure you're washing your bedsheets and pillow cases regularly (at least once per week).
Wash you face twice daily with a gentle, non pope-clogging cleaner. You don't want to use harsh cleaner with fragrances because it makes inflammation worse. I used Cetaphil Daily when I had acne, it works great. Wash your face morning and night with the cleaner using your hands. Every few days or so, lightly use a washcloth to aid in using the cleaner. You want to exfoliate dead skin and gunk, but not inflame your skin. Do not use astringent products, EVER.
After washing your face, use Persa-Gel on your pimples. The stuff is no joke and it's been proven for decades.
General Skincare
For people that don't have acne or have it under control, you want exfoliating cleaner and moisturizer. I only use two products.
Body Merry Glycolic Acid Cleaner for the face and neck. I use it once per day about 4 times a week, but you might want to start out twice a week at first to build tolerance, it's a gentle acid. You want to scrub the product on gently with your hands. This shit will change your game, trust me.
For moisturizer, I use CeraVe Lotion. Rub a small amount onto your face and neck once per day morning or night after your face wash. If you'd rather use it at night or you don't need the sunscreen, I'd recommend getting the PM formulation at a drug store because it's super expensive on Amazon.
Nutrition
Not only are fruit and vegetables good for you and alleviate depressive feelings, but people that eat more fruits and veggies are objectively more attractive. The pigments from the veggies/fruits deposit in your skin and give you a glow that's similar, but more attractive than tanning. You don't have to go crazy, but try and implement sweet potatoes, berries, green leafy veggies and other produce into your diet. Ditch the soda period. Stay hydrated. Pick up a nice water bottle and use it like there's no tomorrow. Stay away from refined sugar and white bread as well, these things cause inflammation. Whole grain bread is your friend (and will also help you lose weight if needed).
Also you gotta control the heavy drinking. And if you smoke cigs, quit ASAP.
Hopefully this helps. I'm not a doctor but I have a science background and a degree in biological science from a well regarded school. Also I have a lot of Asian friends and a family who care about skincare. Good luck to you guys and keep me posted with any progress :)
I'm not going to rate because that's dumb, but there's a lot you can do actually.
I speak from experience when I say this advice WILL work if you get started. I'm not saying you will be hot (you might), but I guarantee you'll be objectively attractive.
Good luck!

This one should do. It is a bit pricey but it lasts long. For me it lasted about 3 months, and I use to use it for my hair every 2 days which I would imagine uses much more than eye brows. It'll last you a long time basically. When you want to use it, heat it up, apply it and let it sit there for about an hour. After that just wash it off. You can use it for your hair too.
