Books man: Go read some books on exercise and/or anatomy. Learn what muscles are where, and what they actually do. Try Strength Training anatomy: search for it in RS.
start with a basic workout with some light weights (5 lbs, then 10 lbs, then 15... dumbbells preferably): squats, lunges, rows, back and front press, bench press and curls with the weights. 3 sets with each exercise, with lotsa of reps (20, then 15, then 10). This will help get you on track for a routine. Once you can do this, add more weight, then cut the reps (15, then 12, then 10) repeat.
to gain muscle, you need to be challenging your muscles. Basically, make your workout soemthing you CANNOT do in its entirety. Build up to its entirety, then change it (with different exercises and heavier weights).
buy an ab wheel also, as well as a chin up bar. Join a damn sport to, there are recreational leagues for nearly everything. probably even close to where you live. the structure helps, and helps you build a support system (which you need and want, even fi you feel like you need to be self-sufficient)
