Not qualified to answer this one but as nobody else has. I (male, at that time obese and weak) starting doing the following in my office during corona
Legs
Dumbbell deadlifts (later got a barbell)
Suitcase squats
Arms/core
Bent-over dumbbell rows
Push-ups (starting with incline ones against the table as I was too weak to do a single one
Planks
Most of the above do multiple muscles at the same time
I now also do bicep curls
And I do swipes and crunches for abs
When you can do your set number of reps relatively easily (I started saying 10 then went to 5) increase the weight by one increment.
I don't know if the above is great but I have managed to stick at this for nearly 3 years now, so there's that. Making time is still the difficult thing though.
Pretty close now to having my regular weight on the barbell for the deadlift and bent over row as my actual bodyweight I.e. I weigh 92 kg (was 107 kg but low-carb fixed most of that rather than lifting) and deadlift 84kg - which is further than I expected to get.
I got the initial plan together using this article
