Please help me! 😭

I want to lose my stubborn belly fat, tone my upper arms, and make my hips and glutes look rounder again.

I'm thin, but I've had this belly fat (in red) since before HRT, and I've never been able to get rid of it, even at the gym.

The same goes for the area just below my armpits (also in red). My upper arms are soft, and I've never been able to get rid of that little bit of fat that jiggles underneath...

As for hips and glutes (in blue), I've always had thick thighs and a naturally round butt, but lately that whole area looks flatter to me. My butt doesn't seem as round as it used to, and I'd love to get that full, rounded shape back.

I haven't exercised in years, so I bought some affordable home gym equipment (shown in the pictures 2 and 3). I struggle to work out without machines, so if you know of any inexpensive equipment that could help, I'd love your suggestions. I'm especially considering the rowing/squat machine in the last picture (4). Is it any good?

I'm also looking for advice on sets, reps, or workout duration. I'm extremely sedentary, so my goal for the first month is simply to build the habit without my whole body hurting or wanting to quit.

I'm not trying to get super muscular. I just want to look hot!

This is the final part. If you read it, please comment. I know the story isn't anything amazing, but I'd like to know who actually read it anyway.
