No problem at all. It always a learning process. Some light generic tips:
Form is more more important than anything else. Lifting 15 lbs right is better than 50lbs wrong. Do the excersizes with good form, and the gains will come much faster.
You need 48hrs of rest between workouts. It seems excessive, but working out literally tears muscles. Your body needs time to repair them. If you want to work out everyday, alternate muscle groups. This is where the "leg day, arm day, core day" terms come from. The excersizes can overlap a bit, but focus them. Personally, I just alterate Mon - Wed - Friday with whole body workouts.
Water, protein and sleep all matter as much as the weight or intensity. Again, you're tearing your body down during the workout. If you don't give it what it needs to heal up, it will only do what it can, which means the workout is partly wasted. Do what you can here, real world concerns are a bitch, but you need these to get stronger.
If you don't have weights, you can always do body weight fitness. There are routines out there of pushups/lunges/squats/handstands/planks/etc that will work your body just like weightlifting, and you don't need to own anything. Reddit had something called "the recommended routine" that was a great starting place for BWF.
