Hey /fit/. I'm in my 20s and have started to lose weight. Grew up fat, etc, whatever - a month ago I cut carbs considerably and started walking/lifting daily and I went from 410 to 389. Not a huge loss, but big enough to make everything easier.

My question is, while I walk everyday ( can't really run yet, too fat) I feel like I would like to lift weights more often, but I find conflicting routines online. Some of the highly recommended routines are bench/squats/something else and you're done, and then I'm at a loss. Is it because these are the core and whatever else you do is good but not as important? How often can I reasonably work each muscle group a week? I figure 2 day a week "off" where I don't lift at all would be good for recovery. Any advice, legit routines for someone starting would very appreciated.
