Should different body parts be done on certain days? I like to mix it up. But wondering if I should concentrate on daily areas?

Hmmm so work a little of everything....
I suppose you generally do,right?
I am working on upper body my arms are to "loose" lol0 -
it depends on your goal and fitness level..generally the I intermediate ones do this kinda routine0

For your goals, a full body workout is perfect. Follow a proven program for best results, don't create your own.. and don't target your fatty areas extra. Can't spot reduce fat. What strength equipment do you have available?0

Rotating your concentration on various areas is best to give them time to recover.0

If by "loose" arms you mean you have some extra fat on your arm, you won't be able to target just that fat by working your arms. Your body will lose fat where it wants to assuming you are eating in a caloric deficit. If you're not eating at deficit levels, you can work your arms all you want, but you'll keep the fat and just build muscle underneath. So to tighten up your arms, I think diet should be your first focus. After that, full body workouts (however you decide to split it up) will add muscle everywhere which with a good diet will "tighten" everything up.
If you're a beginner, which I assume you are based on the question, common best practice is to do full body workouts. Once you've been lifting for a while, then you could branch out and split your workout up by bodypart. For example I've been lifting a number of years and do a 4-day+1 split -
Day 1 - Chest/triceps
Day 2 - Back/biceps
Day 3 - Shoulders
Day 4 - Legs
Day 5 - Upper Body0 -
Thanks guys. That's good advice. Since I've lost a good 30+ pounds I have some loose areas.0
