I'm 5'8" , at my heaviest 2 years ago at 211 lbs, size 16

SW: 195 lbs, size 14
CW: 143 lbs, size 8 but are baggy so will probably need a size 6 soon

Already passed my original goal weight of 150 lbs and am continuing until I'm rid of the dreaded belly fat so I may get down to a size 4, or maybe even a 2.

Your waist is so tinny for that number on the scale and I guess that is the magic of Strength training,Way to go girl

Lol. Thank you!
No magic here. Consistency + Patience=Success
A good lifting program, about 2,3 times a week, eating an average of 1900-2000 calories a day, decent protein, enjoying the heck out of life and these days doing pull-ups

Iam very confused about choosing good lifting program. Do you have any suggestions?!

Hope I can help out
You're only a beginner once: it's the most magical time ever and progress is insane especially if you are overweight. Because this time is so special it's wonderful if you can pick a true beginner programs that exploits the fact that your body is primed for amazing things.
There are only 2 requirements for a good program:
1. Progressive overload built into the program - you lift 2.5 or 5 pounds more each workout.
2. Includes the major compound lifts ( squat, deadlift, bench press, some type of overhead press)

There are other choices you will have to make depending on your training preference:
Strength based programs like Stronglifts 5x5, Wendler 5/3/1, Starting Strenght ( usually 2,3 workouts a week)
Bodybuilding based programs like Jim Stoppani's - Shortcut to Shred or other free beginner programs from bodybuilding.com ( usually 5,6 workouts a week)
Mixed programs with strength and bodybuilding components like "Strong Curves"
Some programs will be free and others will require the purchase of a book (might find them free at a library)

They will all work!!! Pick one and forget about anything else. Learn the exercises and do the program as outlined.
Eat to fuel your body and sleep so you can recover!
Enjoy a feeling like nothing else in this world and watch your body change before your eyes!!
Best of luck!
