While I don't qualify on the lady bit, I hope you don't mind if I try to give a little advice based on my own experiences. Keep it simple at first, and relatively light, at first. Basic, compound, exercises (chest/shoulder presses, squats, etc) should be the focus at first, later you can add in more specialized isolation…

I wouldn't worry about those gains. Some of it might be muscle, some might be water. As long as you're tracking your calories accurately, and maintaining a deficit over time, you'll lose fat. When I got back into the gym fairly recently, I gained 4-5 pounds fairly quickly but it tapered off, and started going back down.…

Water helps. Lots of water. I used to get this feeling I n the gym years ago, and I'm pretty sure I was rather dehydrated . Also if you go into a high intensity workout like that without having eaten in hours you're probably not going to feel too well.

Just keep logging, as accurately as possible, and keep going. Having accurate data to refer to is the best thing you can do, because you can see what works and what doesn't and adjust from there as needed. Three pounds in two weeks is actually quite good. We all want to see results, but it's a slow process.
