I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed, I honestly don't know why people are perpetuating arguments left and right.
If you're feeling a little plump and you want to be healthier, step one is just eating a little less and finding some form of cardio you enjoy. Swimming, jogging, rollerskating, cycling, whatever. Cardio burns even more calories which means you'll be able to eat more food while still losing weight.
When you're up for it, there are plenty of nice Calisthenic routines that don't require gyms. Here's a link to one of the more popular ones:
http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/sta...c-routine.html
Try to drink more water than you're used to, try to eat the rainbow in different fruits and vegetables. When you feel like you're getting somewhere and want to take the next step, then you can start asking about specialized training, gym/lifting routines, periodization, and supplements.
Supplements are just that, they supplement. They aren't "requirements" and they aren't as useful as flat out food.

I was hoping someone could help me create a daily routine and give me some general advice to help me get a bit more fit. I don't want to be a body builder or anything just to be able to lift the things that need to be lifted without wearing myself out. And not to have a belly that looks like I drink.
I have some weights at my house access to a bike and some other things that could possibly help.
Start playing pokemon go if you need motivation to get your cardio done.
Other than that, try chest presses with dumbbells if you have some. If you can do pushups, do pushups. If you can't, do them on your knees instead
Hoss.
There is so much bullshit in this thread it's unbelievable.
Bodhisattva is the only one who got it right.
Don't believe people who tell you certain ways. You need to figure out what you want and then find a way that suits you personally.
For people who start from scratch it's usually best to implement one thing at a time and only start something new when they got the first thing right completely.
There are a couple of basic things you can look into:
Daily cardio such as walking
Drinking enough water
Eating healthy or more healthily than you currently do
Finding some sort of sport you enjoy. Dancing, fencing, bodybuilding, running, … The fun part is more important than anything because if you don't like doing it you will probably not have the will to pull through.
There are so many information out there you will be overwhelmed quickly. That is also why I recommend you look into one single thing first and then go to the next. There are a couple of people on this forums that are qualified to answer some of your questions, but generally don't go to toribash for things like this. If you want to know about nutrition you can probably ask Bodhisattva. If you want to know about losing weight you can go find Destram, if he is still around. I know a thing or two about power lifting and increasing muscle mass. mwah also does. PM those people, don't ask the public.
Also this is a great source of information, no matter what you end up doing in the end: http://scoobysworkshop.com/
