Hi Sky,
As a personal trainer by trade, I thought I'd share a few tips. Since you aren't familiar with working out and/or exercises, check out the AthleanX YouTube channel. Jeff is educated, informative, and his videos offer a lot of advice on technique/sets and reps schemes/exercise selection.
Also, if you are already at the gym - even if it's busy - choose one exercise to add to your walking each visit. There is certainly some machine, dumbbells, or barbell available at some point. Pick something, and then do a simple 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions with 2-3 minutes rest in between - then you're outta there! You can build up a longer, more comprehensive routine as you get more comfortable. I used to train clients in a busy gym, and I had to think on-the-fly and use whatever was available, at peak gym hours.
You can do it! Good luck.
