strength training at home as a newbie, am i doing something wrong?

i’m 18, 5’9, female, currently at 171 lbs (78kg), i’ve been on my weight loss journey for a month now, on a calorie deficit + hitting steps daily, have lost around 6lbs (3kg) so far.

i now want to include strength training into my routine, mainly for back, core and glutes/legs (focusing on these 3 to accentuate my body shape), i’ve never strength trained before and will be doing this at home and if i’m doing it well, i’ll purchase equipment (dumbbells etc) soon. i’m thinking of doing it 3 days a week, one day for each part. will this be good? am i doing something wrong? id seriously love some guidance.

this is my shape rn, and i feel like i’m being super vulnerable, i’ve never posted my body anywhere before😭 but anyways
my butt literally just looks like an extension of my back and i HATE IT ! i’ve been on my wl journey for a month now and i plan on starting strength training soon and i really need to know, how can u grow/shape my glutes better AT HOME
if this is of any help - i’m 5’8, i have sort of a pear shaped body and STILL NO GOOD GLUTES 😭 but yeah, my hips are 10 inches wider than my waist, and also i have slight hip dips too, and i think they are mainly so prominent cause of my love handles

how do i get out of this slump

i’ve been anxiously attached to my male best friend for long now. we sort of are in what you would call a “situationship”. on top of this, i suffer from BPD (i am diagnosed). we r long distance
starting march end or around the start of april, my guy best friend started to face some issues regarding his career/academics and he would often act differently, i tried my best to be okay with it, even though he changed a lot and it affected me. almost every 2 weeks he says he will get better now but now it’s been 3ish months and stuff is the same. sometimes we have amazing conversations but almost DAILY he leaves in the middle and goes for thinking sessions where he just thinks about life and stuff, there have been days we haven’t spoken at all due to his issues since he needed alone time. as much as i get affected by this, i tried my best to give him space.
i’ve had huge breakdowns and everything due to all of this and recently it’s getting bad again, i got 4 consecutive dreams about him having a fight with me or choosing me over someone else or liking other girls. these dreams result in me crying and waking up with a high heart rate at night. it’s almost like my brain is consumed by him. and now, i want to get out of this slump.
i get extremely jealous when he speaks to his other friends, that i start to cry, i literally lose my mind when he compliments another girl or i see him liking a post/reel with a girl in it. since it’s pretty clear we like each other, i literally show no interest in other men and i never even like shit like that because i know it hurts but he still does some stuff here and there, he always makes sure to explain to me or give justification and often times it’s not that deep but it hurts me so so so so much i can’t explain.
he replies to my texts 3-4 days later (reels i send/ bunch of other shit i js spam) and it makes me feel kinda bad but i let it be (we do have convos alongside tho) and when he replies, he misses on certain texts and it just hurts me every small thing breaks me.
it hurts me so much when i post something on my close friends story and he doesn’t reply to it or ask me about it.
and today, it just hurt me like he comes after 1-2 hours of thinking, texts me for 15 mins and leaves again to eat or bath or something.
i get that he has problems too but this is taking over me now i just feel too hurt.
we’ve had many arguments/discussions over this in the past 3-4 months. he says he’ll get better and be like he used to be but it’s still the same.
i really just want to be regulated, unbothered over certain things.

has my kojic acid oxidised ⁉️

i don’t feel any sort of burning when i apply it, and i don’t think this necessarily breaks me out or something, just that it’s kinda yellowish, well when i received it, it was this yellow only or maybe a lil less
