Weight Training for Beginners

Hey! So I have been back at the gym for about 8 months now and eating healthy so doing well overall. However, I haven't really be doing a lot of weight training because I knew I needed to work on my cardio and over all health first.
Now that I have lost approximately 30lbs, my regular work outs are not doing as much as they previously did (which happens to all of us). I am looking for suggestions and/or plans anyone may have that will introduce me to designing my own weight training plan. I have done research and it seems to me like most of the stuff that is out there is for people who are already pretty experienced with it - whereas I am not, but maybe I am looking in the wrong place??
Anyways, if anyone has a plan/routine they have used with specific information I would really appreciate it
My cardio is just not doing as much and I am at a point where I am ready to start weight training.
Thanks,
Amanda
