Weight training advice

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to lose weight, doing intermittent fasting with some results, usually doing 16:8 or 18:6. At my heaviest I was about 90kg, currently 65kg, have a way to go to my goal. I'm walking most days about 5km or more, sometimes on roads or else a longer mountain hike.
I want to start some weight training to help build up my strength, help to lose weight and tone up. I dont have a gym membership but i have some weights, kettlebells and dumbells at home I can use.
I'm just wondering if any of you more experienced people could give me some advice on what sort of exercises I could do, or any routines you follow and like.
Any advice is welcome really! I feel I need to change things up and want to take action while I'm feeling motivated.
Thanks everyone!

Well, the best advice is "join a gym". Honestly.
Outside of that, Google is probably your best bet:
