Also, I do a full body routine. All in one day, then just cardio the next, then cardio and full body ect..
should I do sets?

I want to start free weights now that I know what machines I'm gonna use.

I want to lose extra fat in stomach and gain some muscle. Beachbody really, but more so

Hey dude

To be honest, at your age, given that you have just started training, you will probably make progress no matter what you do.

However, you might as well get in the habit of doing things properly and have plenty of compound moves in your routine.

Take a look at the "How to Grow" link in my sig. It should get you started with the basics.

I should mention that I did resistance training, more so inadvertantly for two years, starting 3 years ago.
I took a year off because the gym closed.
