Eat more protein and keep going with weights. There are guys here in thier 50s.

Resistance Training:​

a. Basic Exercises:​

• Focus on compound exercises that target multiple muscle groups:
  • Squats
  • Deadlifts
  • Bench Press
  • Overhead Press
  • Bent-over Rows

b. Progressive Overload:​

• Gradually increase the weight you lift to challenge your muscles and stimulate growth.

Nutrition:​

a. Caloric Surplus:​

• Consume a slight caloric surplus by eating more calories than your body burns. This provides the energy needed for muscle growth.

b. Protein Intake:​

• Ensure an adequate protein intake (around 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight) to support muscle repair and growth.

We all have to start somewhere and we at MECCA at glad to be on this journey with you.
You need to see where you are on your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) and your RDI (Required Daily Intake). I do not know what your activity level is: Workouts, Job, home lifestyle and such.
If you can provide this it is easier to determine where you actually are. Additionally, what does your diet look like? Macros? Total Calories?
Just based on the following information:
30 yo
Male
200#'s
Sedentary Lifestyle

BMR = appx. 2000 calories
RDI - appx. 2800 calories to maintain current weight
RDI = 3300 calories to Gain weight. This is moderate weight gain of appx. 1#/wk, nothing crazy.

What does your diet look like? DO you understand MACROS?
What do your workouts currently look like? If you are doing cardio, and I don't say this often or flippantly, QUIT!!! Do not do cardio. For you this will be counterproductive.

So I'm new to this stuff but here goes my calculations that I figured out I might be wrong.

BMR= 3,006 Calories
RDI= 3,900 Calories

I would say my lifestyle is Active, I work construction so I'm on the go 8-12 hours a day and it is physically demanding.
I've recently been working out at home about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day for 2 weeks. Just doing 100-150 push ups a day and 30 minutes of Ab workouts. I am going to start going to the gym soon but want to have a Nutrition and Workout plan to reach my goals before so I'm ready.

I have not been counting my Calories and don't know anything about Macros. I know that it is important so I've been doing alot of research on nutrition and trying to gain as much knowledge as possible. I don't do any Cardio. Thank you in advance for all the advice!

I think your BMR is off. I think it should be closer to 2000 calories. This is what it takes for your body just to keep you alive. RDI with an active lifestyle is correct. So, in addition to a structured workout routine, you have got to get your diet under control and you need to know your macros or percentage of (Proteins, Carbs, Fats) and how many calories you are taking in. This stuff isn't easy at first but you'll catch on. Just so that you understand, your RDI of 3900 calories is just to maintain your current weight. You need to increase that by at least 500 calories a day in order to gain .
As far as a workout, I would start with something 3 days a week for size.
