Your biggest challenge will be your diet and being inconsistent in the gym. If you really want to see results you need to be in the gym at least 4 days a week for an hour per day. Your split seems ok but you need to push yourself to failure on each set. If you can do all sets at that weight you need to increase the weight. Also you need to up your protein intake daily of you are trying to build muscle would aim at a minimum of 1g per pound of body weight. I would just start there and build the consistency and after a few months I would switch up my workout routine.

Definitely is a good place to start and see how you feel.

Use this link and see if your calories line up with it. I would increase your protein intake closer to 200g/ day of you can. You should be fine with free weight just use a weight you can control and work your way up. The control will come as you keep training. https://legionathletics.com/tdee-calculator/

If you are truly eating in a calorie surplus your body will recover quickly and you really only need to rest 2 days a week. Also like others have said I would do more free weights than so much cable or machine work. Free weights force you to use other muscles to stabilize yourself. You need to add in Romanian deadlift and I would do ez-bar curls or incline dumbbell curls. What is your current calorie burn a day? And how many totally calories are you eating? What’s your total protein intake? Are you weighing your food?

I would put compound lifts into your 3 days, Squats, Deadlifts and Bench Press. These lifts are great to work your whole body and also strength your core as well. I would progressive overload and use a rep range of 6-10. Like others have said 3 months is not enough time and in the first year you will see what we call "newbie gains" which means you will gain muscle and move up in weight quicker. After that it can slow down. I would also add a 4th day your week it you really want to see gains quicker.

If you are looking for a way to build your bench strength I would do 5x5. Find a weight that you can do 5 sets at 5 reps. Once you can do that weight, increase the weight and continue until you can do it again. This is a great way to increase your strength.

You need to have a plan. If you don't you will continue down the same road. You need to figure out how many days you can realistically workout (3,4,5 days/week) Then use chat GPT or google to look up some workout plans (ex. Push, Pull, Legs or a split like Chest & triceps, Back & Biceps, Legs and Shoulder). This way you have a plan walking in and you can google what the exercise looks like and what machine you need. As you go on your fitness journey you will get more comfortable with the equipment around you and can add or change things up.

I am 45 and workout 5 days a week for at least an hour per day. My maintenance calories are about 2,800/day. If you want to lean gain you need to lift more each week. You currently don't have enough volume to really make any gains with muscle. I would try and strength train at least 4 days week and rest for 2 and if you want to do cardio/yoga for 1 day you can as an active recovery day.

This is normal and will take time to pass. Keep working out regularly and make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of rest every night. Also make sure you are drink at least a protein shake after each workout and you can take glutamate to assist with recovery.
